Advertising World = Extra 10 Mad Pounds By Default


So I thoroughly enjoy my 9-5. I work in advertising, overseeing digital efforts by my clients. It can be an extremely stressful job, but it can be equally rewarding and satisfying.

Take, for example, the lovely treats that renown Swedish pastry chef Roy Fares shared with us in our office. Lucky for me, my agency pres knows some incredibly talented and awesome people like Roy and his lovely partner Doug. At 10am one Friday morning, we were greeted with these, handmade chocolate and caramel macarons:



He spent hours the night before making these lovely bites of heaven from scratch. The cream filling was light yet decadent, and the cookie was absolutely buttery.

But that wasn't all: Roy also made a rich parfait with sweet strawberries and a chocolate crumble. I almost felt like I was indulging in a drink first thing in the morning, that's how guilty these delicious treats were.



All I have to say is it's no wonder I can't seem to shed these ten pounds I've been trying to shed for so long. Thank you, Roy, and please feel free to use us as guinea pigs anytime.

Well, if Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce can have their scotch before noon, I can have a macaron at 10am.

  2. The talent of this young Pastry Chef is amazing! Combine his infectious beautiful smile with his Macaroons and creative deserts/cakes - and you have a double winner. Best thing that we hear on the street is that he is as beautiful inside as he is outside.
