My nephew Connor loves Jeeps. Really, he loves all kind of trucks (he’s an equal opportunity type of kid) but Jeeps have a special place in his heart. So when my sister-in-law Misty asked me to make Connor’s birthday cake, I knew I had to go for the Jeep! I found the perfect Jeep cartoon [...]

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 [...]

I had been talking to my sister-in-law Misty about making a birthday cake for my youngest niece–Kendall’s–1st birthday since oh, the kid was about 9 months old.

Another week, another birthday! I told you all it’s a happy time of the year. Because you all know how much I love celebrating with fun people. Really, if I could make it a full time gig (well maybe with a bit of time to cook) I would! But the difference between this one and [...]

I love the spring. First there’s my birthday, then there’s Kori’s. Yay! More parties on the shore! I love my little sister so much (more than she even knows!), and I’m always so happy to spend a weekend with her. I’ll admit, this wasn’t always the case. Back when my sister my born in fact, [...]

I discovered something about Eileen back when I made the homemade marshmallows–she may love smores even more than I do. I know it’s hard to believe, since I’m famous for eating marshmallows until I’m nearly sick, and adding grahams and chocolate just makes it that much better, but it’s true.

My family rocks. Really. We can not see each other for months, and then when we get together it’s hours and hours of non-stop chatting and fun. And normally, food. This past weekend, Noel and I were lucky enough to go to Slower Lower for some quality family time. Nevermind that the picture above shows [...]
