Hector Reaches for the Stars!
Jan 29, 2011 | From the kitchen of Rose
At last, Hector has gotten his just desserts! This spring he will be featured in a major Hawaiian magazine! We are all so proud of him. Here's what Hector wrote for this posting:
sometimes, stars surround you." here is my inspiration from ROSE'S HEAVENLY CAKES Apple Caramel Charlotte, done with starfruit.
earlier this year, i've enjoyed a 2 hour interview and 4 hour photo shot for Hana Hou Magazine, Hawaiian Airlines in-flight magazine. the magazine is printed every two months, and i will be featured on Spring 2011 (fingers crossed, on April/May). the magazine is also available online. these are the photos selected by the photographer, Jyoti Mau. Jyoti and her assistant (her husband) were so easy to work with, although a grueling 3 hours plus an additional 1 hour for a portrait shooting, my experience was energizing and all positive. the smile you see on my face is real, although it was a bit painful for my lips to keep that stretch for near 1 hour! the photos of the photo shooting were taken by my photo assistant Stan Yamada. enjoy!
