Serve Your Sweet Tooth at Girard Gourmet



A creamy filled cupcake with lots of sweet frosting that melts in buttery fashion in your mouth. Food is an American past time and bakeries have enjoyed higher sales in recent years. Bakeries and cafes maybe a place where people sit, work, eat and socialize but they are also a place to serve your sweet tooth. In trendy areas like La Jolla, Girard Gourmet has been attracting customers for over 25 years with their European style bakery. 

Fresh pastries and desserts keep bakeries stocked with motivated buyers. Cupcake sales have increased 63% between 2007-2011 (Odesser-Torpey, 2013). That is right, fluffy sweet creamy cupcakes you lust over in the window do attract people to come inside and buy a dozen to go. When visitors are walking from the beach and making their way through the shopping district they tempted by hunger, smells, and tantalizing sights. 

Girard Gourmet offers fresh and natural bakery items. Many of the ingredients are grown in the owner’s organic garden. Croissants, muffins, breads, breakfast, cookies, sandwiches, salads, and a variety of deserts are offered. It may look like a small outlet but they have a large full service kitchen in the back. If you don't want something heavy try some of their natural juices.

Seating is outdoor on the sidewalk or inside near the food. The outdoor seating acts like a beacon that attracts one’s attention and lets them know that something interesting is going on. As you get closer to the bakery you begin to see and smell their offerings. In La Jolla outdoor seating and natural foods are a big attraction for the fashionable people that frequent the area.

For business customers they offer full catering services that includes breakfast and lunch selections. This means they will cater your next business party, luncheon, or meeting by bringing the food to your office. The advantage of offering catering is that it provides a further reach for a business that wants to start another money stream but don't want to expand or change their facilities. Using evening hours and excess capital a business can develop a strong secondary income.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
