Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Happy Pi Day
As you may know, March 14 (3.14) is Pi Day. To celebrate, I made pie (yesterday, since I have class tonight). This maple-buttermilk pie is from Baked Explorations (the second cookbook from the Brooklyn-based bakery Baked, that I have yet to go to but love already because their cookbooks are wonderful.) It's a classic southern custard pie, with a lovely flakey pie crust--granted I used my own pie crust not the recipe they gave--and a buttermilk based, maple syrup laced custard filling. It's certainly not the prettiest pie, but it sure is tasty!
