I’ve got a special link for you today. I was asked to participate in PicMonkey’s holiday’s treat eCookBook along with other baking bloggers. As I was looking through it last night, I wanted to try darned near every recipe printed! You’ll find many tasty treats with links to the participants’ blogs. So fun to visit new sites and introduce oneself. Click on eCookBook cover below to be taken over to the PicMonkey Facebook page where you can download the cook… [Read More]
Happy December! I can’t believe the countdown has begun! What have you got planned this holiday season? This year we’ve been invited to a few parties where, for some reason, I’ve been asked to bring cookies. 😉 I wanted to design a cookie that said fun + party with more of a generic feeling in the holiday affiliation area but still said “happy holidays”. Did you know I’m crazy for pennants? What says fun + party more than pennants? I… [Read More]
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. Friday felt like the day after Christmas to me. I just crashed and completely vegged on the couch editing photos, taking in Barbra in Hello Dolly! and ordering a few things online while everyone helped themselves to leftovers. Anyone else take it easy? I’ve been baking so many cookies for the last couple of months that it was a nice change of pace in the kitchen. We began the season in celebration of… [Read More]

Last week began my cookie decorating workshops for this holiday season and we had a great time! I was honored to be invited to teach a group of Newport Beach tennis friends who gathered for dinner and wanted to learn how to become cookie decorating rock stars. They were all so lovely, welcoming and enthusiastic that I could have easily forgotten I was there to teach! Don’t you love their matching aprons? Diane, the organizer of the evening and third… [Read More]
Don’t think of Halloween as being romantic? These ghoulfriends found a way to show the monsters of their hearts their affection. And you knew it was just a matter of time before I designed Halloween Tushie Cookies, didn’t you? See links below for the ongoing Tushie Cookie Collection list. Enjoy the BOOty cookies and have a happy Halloween! For Frankenstein. For Vlad Dracula. For Jack O’Lantern. I only have eye for you! Oh yes, and let’s not forget Mummy. Always… [Read More]
Hello! Happy Sunday (or Monday)! You knew I was taking a little time off here and there to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary and to work on some projects, didn’t you? I have a couple of treats to share with you today. Just a little something Buddy the Cake Boss and I made together. Well, sort of. To clarify, I’m asked multiple times each week to sample products, review cookbooks and attend launch parties and junkets in LA for all… [Read More]
Today I’m featured on the Tiny Prints blog sharing two Halloween DIYs inspired from their Gleeful Guises invitation set which is perfect for little monsters. You’ll learn how to make jack-o-lantern table top decorations safe for a children’s party that also holds candy that seems lit from within and ghosts pops made from Peeps using washi tape for added decoration. Come see how you can do it too! I promise you can! 🙂 SHARE THIS POST:
Happy Monday and the last day of September! We had a delicious weekend. I made 2 dozen tushie cookies with tushie tats for a bridal shower and assisted my son in making his multiple blue ribbon and division winning chocolate cake. We did our winning combo – he made the cake and icing and I iced the cake. It was part of the celebration for my lovely niece’s birthday this weekend. She and her husband just returned from two years… [Read More]
