Although it's been coming for sometime it is finally time to face reality. My creative outlet will become a bit less creative in a modern style and technique sense of things.
I have been fortunate and happy to be able to do more or less what I wanted, but now it is time to rearrange and do more "traditional" Italian desserts for the outlet.
I can only be positive and embrace that in a positive way, but first I have to let go.
I want to let go, I want to move on as I have become too comfortable doing what I am doing. I want my style to progress, along with knowledge and techniques. My creative mind has become followed by a lack of motivation and loss of excitement.
Seems to be that I am always behind and never caught up. There are quite a few desserts I wanted to post about but never got the chance due to a million and one excuses. Well now is the time!
We will revisit some of the many missed desserts over the past and catch up with on a few other things...Lets go!
Embrace the positives. I'm pretty much in the same boat. The only outlet for my creative stuff these days is catering. The new(ish) job is pretty much standards and production baking. The good side is that I'm finding myself immersed in things I haven't done for a long time. I'm coming back to them from a different place and having a lot of fun with them.

Hi Ryan! I wouldn't worry about feeling less creative by making trad Italian desserts. I'm sure when made properly they will blow many HK folks minds. In my case we don't have a decent dessert outlet in the hotel. I just keep an eye on what's going on internationally and every now and then I get to make something semi modern :)
