OUR 2024 CALENDAR IS HERE!

As you all know, creating a beautiful baklava calendar has been a yearly passion of mine since 2020. It was during the slow months of the pandemic that I needed a creative outlet and I settled on making a gorgeous calendar for my Baklava of the Month customers. I wanted to give them a calendar (a value add) to go with their subscription so that they would know what flavor they were going to receive every month. I hired a photographer and we worked together as best we could. I remember she had two little ones and wanted to make sure she kept them safe so on shoot days, I would drop off the baklava she was photographing on her front porch and she would retrieve it after I left. We talked over the phone and together with my vision and her expertise we made something special.

I was so proud of that calendar the first year, I decided to give everyone a copy regardless of whether they were Baklava of the Month customers or not. It became my gift to you! The following years I kept with the idea of matching each month with the Baklava Club’s flavor of the month, but for 2024 I decided to move in a different direction. The theme for 2024’s Sheer Ambrosia calendar is La Dolce Vita (The Sweet Life) – Weddings, Parties, and other Special Occasions. The idea was to showcase, not just my passion for baklava, but my new friend Rosemary Fanti’s passion too. She is an artist/painter and I felt I’d share the spotlight with her this time since she also can add a huge value to your weddings, parties or events.

 

I received my shipment of calendars last week. I will start putting them in with your orders starting NOW! So place your baklava orders and enjoy my joint venture with Rosemary.

UPDATE ON OUR NEW COMMERCIAL BAKING SPACE

 

The build out of my new commercial kitchen is still going. The goal was to be in by October 1st. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen and I was so bummed about it, but I’m reminded to keep my head up with a few of my favorite life lessons:

1) As much as I think I am in control, sometimes I’m not and I have to surrender to whatever obstacles are thrown my way, deal with them, and move on.

2) At the end of the day, I am responsible for everything that happens, I am not a victim. Moving in later is not the end of the world.

3) Patience is a virtue.

4) I can't do this alone...I need my friends and family! I love you Nette, Mom, Desi and Michael Jones!

 

I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, enjoy this photo of the outside signage and graphics of our new space!

WELCOME

EVERY BLOOMING THING

TO THE SHEER AMBROSIA FAMILY

 

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of handing out samples at Every Blooming Thing’s Holiday Open House. Every Blooming Thing is one of Salt Lake City’s premier Floral and Gift Shops. They placed an order for Sheer Ambrosia baklava gift boxes and asked me if I’d like to hand out samples. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to meet their family of clients and mingle with their people. It was a fun day and I was able to meet their caterer and hopefully start working with her too. It was a beautiful, productive, and fun day of meeting kind people and the fact that everyone LOVED our baklava was a HUGE BONUS!

Love, Peace, and Baklava Forever,
