About twice a year, one of Adam’s poker-obsessed coworkers organizes a large poker tournament. Part of your entry fee includes dinner (hamburgers, hotdogs, and chips) and I always thought we needed desserts so I usually brought cookies or brownies or something like that. This year, I decided we needed an official poker tournament cake (Elise …
I’ve just completed my second official cake! This request came from my labmate Mike, who wanted a cake for his sister’s birthday party.

Happy Monday everyone! We’re only 5 days away from the weekend – the countdown begins (again)! To cheer you up on such a depressing day, here’s a very cheery cake.

We’re going to offer a Halloween Cookie Bouquet class at Michaels on October 18th. Here’s a picture of a bouquet I made to go on display at Michaels. It’s going to be a super fun 2-hour class so if you’re local, sign up! Cyndi and I will be teaching it (I think).
