I’m ringing your doorbell and standing on your front porch in a scarf, holding out a plate of Christmas cookies made just for you. Merry Christmas! What are your Christmas plans? Going anywhere? Staying home? Big dinner?Continue Reading

Today I’m going to back up a bit. Let’s talk basics. If seeing a tutorial on this topic makes you yawn . . . keep reading! You might learn a thing or two, or you might see something critical that I missed, and you can let us all know in the comments section. Either way,Continue Reading

This past weekend, I fixed my hair (and put on makeup), handed the kids over to a babysitter, and attended LTUE, a local sci-fi/fantasy writing convention. Is it a complete surprise that I love to write? Maybe not. Is it a complete surprise that I’ve got a geek streak? Maybe not. My husband, being aContinue Reading

It’s been a while since I’ve done any really hard-core cake decorating. And with a new little bean coming in less than 8 weeks (yikes) it could be several months before I tackle another project like this.

Is it possible to NOT decorate cute baby sugar cookies when you’re putting on a cute baby shower to celebrate with the cute pregnant mommy-to-be on theContinue Reading

In the last few weeks, I haven’t been able to browse the food blog world without feeling like the girl who got picked last in gym class. Why? Because these days everyone is blogging about barbecues and picnics and homemade ice cream out on the porch at dusk. Meanwhile, Utah somehow got stuck in March.Continue Reading

Am I allowed to make a Tron cake if I’ve never seen Tron? Well, I did anyway.

Birthdays may not be a big deal to some people. But when the man I love sticks with me for another ride around the sun, I feel pretty lucky. Even when he goes and requests a complicated birthday cake. Happy birthday to my sweet husband.

Each December I wonder if I’d be happier in my kitchen or away from it. Today, for instance, might have been a good day to kick back and watch the snow fall with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book. Leisurely wrap a few gifts. No dirty dishes. Plenty of counter space. SweetContinue Reading

The only thing crazier than building the Eiffel Tower? Building it out of sugar. Okay, so my royal icing version was only eight inches tall. But still. . . (By the way, click over here for the tower tutorial) This cake was chocolate on the inside. I never seem to get tired of the sameContinue Reading
