We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession.

Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.

As much as I transferred my mother to Elizabeth Shore of The Black Dahlia as much as her dad mutated into an obsession with crime in general well I have thought about other things throughout the years.

Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor a lawyer a scientist or a great humanitarian.

My daughter Lila loves the smell of gasoline - she always says 'Mummy keep the door open ' when I'm filling up the car. I've heard it is one of the most preferred scents in the world - maybe that's something to study for my next fragrance!

There does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let's get on with it.
