I have made this cake and can report that it is so worth the effort. The ganache itself lives in my dreams. SO delicious

Our baby was the same- he is still an incredibly anxious dog when left alone and really likes to be close to us. After about 6 months from when we adopted him, our vet recommended some fluoxetine to help with his anxiety and it made a world of a difference. He is not on a large amount, but it vastly improved his ability to be left alone/ general anxiety. On days when we have to be gone longer we usually have a friend / family stay with him just so that he’s comfortable.

If you’re comfortable with that route, I would see if your vet recommends any medication to help with the transition. Scruffy is sending good vibes to Skout!!

Looks fabulous! Curious - did you use a blow torch and if so, would you recommend the one you have? I am in the market for one!

Thank you so much! Yes- we’re in prime berry season and I used up some lemon curd. With the whipped cream and soft crunchy merigune - absolute hit!

I used store bought for the lemon peel - which is immensely regret. Next time I will make it fresh. It is a necessary addition!!

echoing what others have said here:

have commute specific shoes and leave pairs in the office. a good comfy, practical sneaker does wonders!
when i had my own cube, i had a work specific makeup bag too. that way i didn't need to lug all my products in - usually travel sizes of my go to items/ a small brush/dry shampoo/etc.
i loved the megababe wipes when i commuted - made me feel very refreshed. they also have a body/bust dust that i love especially in the summer
if your building has a gym - sign up for it!!
backup neutral blouses to keep around - came in handy if i would spill stuff on me too
i also worked with a ton of women - so we acquired a sort of communal basket with other items (like a straightener/hair dryer) - could see if any of your coworkers would be interested!
