For a while now, I’ve wanted to get some new pictures of myself on here so that y’all can know what I look like. I suppose the reason for that is that I always like it when you can imagine “The face behind the photos” on this type of blog, since the pictures are generally […]
//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js Once upon a shopping day, I was walking through the store, and then– *POOF!* –These beautiful copper cookie cutters (basically) jumped into my hands! Then… Out if nowhere… it was like there was music in the air. Some kind of song that probably went like this: “Love, love love love love loooooove… You know […]
Do you ever find that when you go to type certain words, they always end up coming out wrong? Example: Twix. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve typed “Twixt” today. It just happens, and it’s like I can’t stop it. :-/ Oh well. If you find any “Twixts” in this post, you can […]
Here is a highlight of every culture: FOOD! The first time my sister was in Austria, she came home with pictures of these AMAAAZING looking dumpling-esq morsels, and I was like, “OH MY WORD!” And then when *I* went to Austria, I got to learn how to make those amazing, actually-named-something-dumpling-esq morsels, and I was […]

Okay, so despite my most hopeful dreams, updating with a new recipe this week hasn’t really been an option. I ran out of time like the dickens! And here, I will tell you, is why: Last week I had the opportunity, for the third year in a row, to volunteer at the Soli Deo Gloria Ballet annual […]
This cake was the idea of one of my clients, who wanted to surprise her groom with this fantastic, whimsical, and all-around crazy groom’s cake. She pulled out a sketch that she’d created with the disclaimer, “I’m not much of an artist… And I don’t know if this is possible… But maybe you could look […]
So guess what? I was nominated by Rustic Honey for the Liebster award! This award, from what I could learn on Google, is just kind of an honorary award that gets passed from blogger to blogger, as if to say “Good job – Keep it up!” And so, I take a deep bow and say, […]
Souffle. I have been wanting to make a souffle for a while, because A) It looks cool, and B) I’ve heard that it’s hard. Actually, I think I got that impression from the old Audrey Hepburn movie, “Sabrina,” when she attends Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in France and learns to make a souffle. […]
