Enter: Confectionery Artisan

Hello internet, my name is Charles J. West.  My cousin, Elliot D., has been pestering me for weeks to start a blog (I'll get into why in a moment) and obviously I've caved in.  I live in BC, Canada (I feel a bit uneasy revealing the city) and work in the food industries.  I am a university student in the science faculty, and I hope to someday earn my Master's in Engineering or Biology; both are so interesting, I just can't decide!  Thank god for student loans :o) 


As for the name of my blog (It is a bit unusual isn't it lol), I very much enjoy baking!  Not b/c I <3 cake or whatever (bluh bluh so many people think this i hate pastries so muuuuch DX) I just find it very relaxing and have a bit of a talent for candy-making.  Hard candy, soft candy; Whichever the type, I find it challenging and satisfying.  I mostly just give them away to my friends (more than one of which blame me for the failure of their diets LOL), but I will admit (you'll keep it a secret right internet? ;) ) that I keep the best candies for myself :P

...Or rather, I used to keep the best candies for myself.  That's gotten me into a bit of an.... unfortunate situation somewhat recently and, at the prompting (again) of my cousin Elliot, I have decided to chronicle my journey through this no-carb (and thus, no-sugar ;_;) diet, an already difficult task made all the more challenging by the hobby I will be keeping you updated on in this very same blog.  I have self-loathing issues, as you can plainly see.  So you can expect updates, detailed reports, and photos pertaining to my diet and my beloved craft in the near future.  Wish me luck.

I guess that's really all there is to say on the matter.  I don't know how often I'll update this blog, but if I stop now it will just serve to upset Elliot.... Dear, sweet, concerned Elliot, who recommended this diet to me.  I will, of course, force him to join me.  (That's half the reason I will continue making candy ;P)

Good Day and Good Luck,
CJ West
