Happy National Bundt Day! The one day each year when we celebrate the beauty that is the bundt cake–a classic, simple form that’s so pretty it doesn’t even need icing! Since I’m not the biggest icing fan in the world (I know, I know, I love to make big fancy cakes, but I don’t always [...]

Okay, I’ll admit three weeks ago, I didn’t really know what the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” was. Turns out it is ALL the RAGE with the preschool set. And since Eileen and I were in charge of making a birthday cake for a darling little girl’s second birthday, we had some research to do on Mickey [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, last weekend was the weekend of CRABS!! Our friends Kim and Randy invited us to their house out in my old stomping grounds (oh college on the hill, what fantastic memories I have of you!). This is an annual thing, so it was fun to be back in [...]

This is the story of our perfect Fourth of July dessert. Or rather, it’s almost a non-story. Shockingly, I didn’t put a ton of time or energy into planning every single meal for the Fourth weekend beforehand. Yeah, I’m usually sort of a planner. But since we had 11 house guests at the beach this [...]

Greetings from Virginia Beach! No, I haven’t decided to give up living in Baltimore and travel from beach to beach on the East Coast–although that would be lovely! No, I’m back with another wedding cakes on the road edition. Stephanie is a friend of mine from work, and when she first started seriously about getting [...]

Happy Royal Wedding Day! Yes I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a royal watcher. I think I’ve been one almost since birth, since my mom and Princess Diana were pregnant at the same time in 1981/82. After I was born, my mom famously said that Diana “must be carrying a boy, because the princess [...]

So this past weekend was one sugar filled fest at the beach house. Combining Easter (and all of those peeps, chocolate eggs, and bunnies) and a 75th birthday bash in honor of my dear grandfather is certainly a recipe for a sugar rush. Luckily I ran 9 miles on Saturday morning in preparation for my [...]
