Pistachio

I don’t usually go for girly stuff. And what’s girlier than this rose petal sugar?

Baker-photographer Julie Marie Craig stumbled onto the stuff at Nicasio Valley Cheese  on a day out with her dad.

But I’m always drawn to poetry, and this label has it.

I know. It’s just a statement of what it is and who should get credit. But bare-boned and to the point, there’s no more powerful message than that.

This lovely stuff calls to girly cupcakes everywhere, and also wedding cakes. Can it stand up to something richer, like maybe the chocolate mousse I served on a catering gig recently? Yup. In the chantilly cream garnish. Just enough girly juxtaposed to make rich dark chocolate even better.
