When it comes to red velvet, it seems to be a very popular flavor…and to the ones who love it, they don’t just love it. They adore it. Obsess over it. Worship it. Okay fine, so maybe not worship, but I’ve noticed that when the flavor is even mentioned around some people, I can almostRead More

Four glorious words, all rolled into one delicious dessert. I like it.

During college, I worked on a dinner cruise boat as part of the waitstaff. Cheesecake was the usual dessert at the end of the meal, and after everyone was served, you could find me back in the kitchen, hunting for extra dessert that wasn’t used.
