You’d think I’d be busy enough with food while working as a pastry chef in a restaurant, but clearly that isn’t the case. Going from being covered in flour at work, I come home to get covered in powdered sugar. “You have flour on your face,” is a comment I receive regularly at work. “TheRead More
Over The Hill birthdays give you the opportunity to go over the edge with funny gifts. Which is why this is one of my favorite sections in a party store to look at, because there’s usually something good enough to make me laugh out loud. This cake had the same effect.

Some days, it feels like the days and weeks drag on, and then… BOOM! My baby boy turns 2. This all goes along with my cousin’s perfect description of having young kids, “The days are long, but the years are short.” He’s not 2 weeks old. Not 2 months old. TWO YEARS OLD. Where hasRead More

Then, there are the people who embrace the fact that they’re still on this beautiful planet for another year, and happily celebrate. AndRead More
My nephew is a HUGE fan of Angry Birds, so this year when his 5th birthday rolled around, my sister-in-law decided to do Angry Birds as the theme for his party. She’s really big into cake decorating as well, so I asked if there was anything I could make that would go along with theRead More
My best friend threw her little girl’s 2nd birthday party recently, and decided to go with a Finding Nemo theme. Honestly, it couldn’t be more of a perfect fit.
