Lume - Pastries that make you happy

My friends, my family, those I know a little and those that I don't know at all, please be most welcome. Your help will be invaluable to me. And I already say a huge "Merci" in advance. Please feel free to share! Who is Lume? LuME is a bit of me. It's the beginning of my three first names. And why "Petite pâtissière de rien du tout" (Little Pastry Chef of Nothing at All)? First of all it's a tribute to Anne Sylvestre (a french singer) and her little stories of nothing at all, which I grew up with and learned a lot from. Then it's also a way of saying that (almost) nothing is serious, that we are just passing through and that life is beautiful. But be sure that I will put my whole heart into making my pastries. My name is Lucy, and I'm 46 years old. I am a free and independent woman. I love travelling, swimming, playing in a batucada and constantly learning new things. I adore toucans, Sicily, people, and chocolate. I have been baking for as long as I've been allowed to use a kitchen, much to the delight of those around me. A few years ago, I obtained my pastry CAP (Certificate of Professional Aptitude) as a self-taught candidate while working as a childminder. After a lot of practise and an internship at a renowned pastry shop in Marseille, with discussions and encouragement from the chef, I made the decision to change my life and venture into whipped ganache, diplomat cream, and choux pastry. I am going to open my own pastry shop. To begin with, I will only work on orders: I want to produce only what is necessary and minimise waste as much as possible. I won't have a storefront but a laboratory that will also serve as a pickup point for you. I also wish to organize pastry workshops and share my passion with adults and children. I will offer both classic and creative pastries, using seasonal and preferably locally-sourced ingredients.
