Since my junior year in college–after the ill-fated first year of college and the dread freshman 15 + the bonus sophmore 15–and the need to work it off, I’ve been kind of a fitness nut. Some even like to use the term gym rat, although as a person who has had actual real life encounters [...]

About a month ago, one of our oldest friends, Bill, called me up. As he usually is, Bill was direct. “How do I go about getting you to make a cake for Amelia’s [his youngest daughter's] birthday?” Me–”well usually we start with what she wants, and we go from there.” Bill–”okay, I’ll work on finding [...]

A new year, time for some new education! I don’t think I’ve told you all, but I’m taking a beginner’s cake decorating class. Yay! That’s right, in a few short weeks I’ll know proper technique for loading and holding a piping bag so icing doesn’t explode out all over the place (yes it’s happened!), how [...]
