Instant Gourmet: Walnut Genoise

 
I was really surprised at how quickly this cake went together.  You can have it baked and cooling within an hour, and on the table in less than two.  The thing is, it just looks incredible and fancy and people will think that you have been working all day.  Now THAT is my kind of […]

Birthday Cupcakes: Chocolate

 
I don’t like to use cake mixes because, for one, they use a lot of genetically modified foods in them and I just am not comfortable with that. I mean, glowing in the dark would be cool and all but I am afraid of growing an extra foot.  My mouth might not be able to […]

Tips for Stacked Cakes and the Weirdness of Kindergarted Graduation

 
So, my granddaughter graduated yesterday.  From kindergarten.
Why do kids need a graduation ceremony to go from kindergarten to first grade?  I am not complaining.  It just seemed odd to me. I am a very simplistic person. Having homeschooled for 20 years I have had two kids so far graduate from high school.  It was a […]

Pineapple Upside Down Cake: A Classic Recipe

 
I don’t know too many people who don’t like pineapple upside down cake.  The thick, caramel syrup combined with juicy pineapple and paired with tender sponge cake is nearly irresistible.

Earthquake Cake:Feel the Earth Move…

 
I normally don’t use cake mixes, we all know that. And you guys know that I am all about organic, whole foods.
But we all need junk once in awhile and this cake should be on everyone’s list of quick, easy, and ROCKIN’. So please, before you tear the chef hat off my head, and strip […]
