    I had a customer ask me to do 50 barnyard cookies to accompany a barnyard cake. I obliged. I was a touch nervous at first, but ended up having a blast. So much so, I found myself getting up at 3:30 AM just so I could work on them. I’d like to share them now. Here is a…

    Commenter, eep suggested I post the recipe of the orange-basil cookies I consumed before my long run on Saturday. It’s a mega easy recipe. It’s not the healthiest cookie on earth, but when you plan on running off over 1000 calories, I think it’s OK to indulge in a cookie or four. What you will…

    I’m in How Magazine this month. Please stop by and read the interview. Back when I was a full time graphic designer, I got a few pieces in How, but never an interview. And I never would have predicted all those years ago that I would one day be interviewed for candy. So cool! So…

    Edited to add: Toby has informed me that he does NOT like these biscuits. Him: “I don’t know what you’re doing, but they are just weird. I do not approve.” Me: “Then why are you eating one?” Him: “Because I’m hungry.” Heh. Anyway, I’m going to leave it up, but maybe steer clear until I…

    Have you ever eaten something so good it makes you want to punch, slap or kick shit? This tart will do just that. I first got wind of this tart from Catherine on Twitter. She wrote something about a reviewer stating, “This tart is so good, I want to punch people when I eat it.”…

    Isn’t he cute? I’m biased, it’s true. But I want to eat him every minute of every day. He’s now 9 months old! Why does time fly so fast after you have kids? SLOW DOWN, LIFE.

    I was craving fudge on Sunday, specifically peanut butter. So I read through a few recipes and came up with this one. The original recipe was taken from All Recipes and I modified it a bit. Anyway, it’s just too damn good and easy not to share. I don’t have any photographs because my card…

    I can be really stinky. Unfortunately, my armpits (and feet!) are my biggest culprits. I used to go weeks and weeks without having to wear deodorant. But something changed in my late 20s. (I blame hormones. I blame them for everything.) Nowadays, unless I want to fill up an entire subway car with my stink,…

    This could very well be some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. But I’m a terrible judge of food right now. You could hand me a buttered Saltine and I’d rave about it. Anyway, these are great. My son gobbled them up. And they’re easy to make. (Please note: I used my iPhone to…

    Forgive me in my delay (yet again) in updating. The Etsy feature has sent me so many new customers and orders, I don’t know which end is up anymore! Don’t get me wrong, I am ecstatic by the turnout. But holy CRAP have I ever been busy! I’ve been making lollipops for days and days…
