There’s something about the holidays that makes me think of nuts. I hate nuts. They invoke a strong gag reflex whenever I accidentally ingest them. I think it verges on a nut phobia…but that’s another topic for another day. Anyway, nuts go with Christmas just like pumpkin and sweet potatoes go with Thanksgiving! So I …
For Thanksgiving, I was in charge of desserts – aside from Taylor’s adorable Pilgrim’s Hat Cookies, of course. Pie is the traditional dessert for the holidays, but, like usual, I was short on time. I didn’t want to resort to a store-bought pie crust – homemade ones are just so much more fun! So I …

This week, I made a fun girly cake for a coworker’s wife’s surprise birthday party! It was yellow cake with strawberry buttercream filling and chocolate fudge frosting on the outside. Brett wanted bright colors… …and a handbag on top. I made a lipstick tube, 20 dollar bills, and credit cards out of gum paste so …
There’s no stopping it now… We’re all really gearing up for the holidays! One of the things I look forward to most every year is playing games with my family. Everyone is very competitive so the games are taken seriously, but there’s still a lot of laughter and teasing. This week, in lieu of the …
