Last Breath.

Today...my mother took her last breath on this Earth. I have no words. The emotion is too much.

Triple Chocolate Chewy Cookies - Recipe Test

I'm back at it again...testing recipes again. This is a triple chocolate chewy cookie with three kinds of chocolate (bittersweet, semi-sweet and milk chocolate shavings and morsels). It also has two different types of nuts - carmelized walnuts and crushed hazelnuts. The richness is incredible and despite its sweetness, leaves you craving for more. This is a definite addition to the repetoire of desserts I'm building. FYI - if you're reading these posts and reach out to me when I bake - I'll send you some of the freshest baked desserts you've ever had. Send an address and I'll overnight the "latest" to you to enjoy!

For My Valentine...You Know Who You Are!!!

These are a few delectable little goodies I whipped up for dessert for Valentine's Day. I broke with my "vegan ways" and broiled a T-bone steak, baked potato and steamed veggies for "Honey Bunny" (his favorite meal). A few milk chocolate covered strawberries, some dipped again in sprinkles, and chocolate dipped pretzel snaps, double dipped in sprinkles. Hope your V Day was as sweet as mine. Love ya, MB!!!

Garden State Cake Show Photos

Attended the 2011 Garden State Cake Show in Burlington, NJ. My "honey bunny", sister and nephew joined me for good times, amazing cake artistry, the opportunity to meet the ONE AND ONLY Ms. Toba Garrett!!! (For those of you who don't know...google this amazing woman!)

I had a great time and even watched a demonstration by my friend - Carolina L. These events only serve to strengthen my resolve to ignore the naysayers and keep my dessert artistry at its highest level!!! Check it out!

It's My Day...All Day....24 Hours Long

It's my birthday...and I'm celebrating being me...just me...complex, complicated, uniquely, silly, happy, sexy, crazy, sanely me!

Don't Go Breakin' My Heart...

Heart disease is still the No. 1 cause of death in America. February 4th is National Wear Red Day. Visit heart.org or go redforwomen.org for more info. Schedule a doctor's appointment for a heart checkup. I'll be heartbroken if you don't.

PS...Today is my mother's birthday. I love you Mom.

French Apple Tart

I'm still at it...testing recipes and creating new ones. Here are the latest creations...premier arrive, premier servi (first come, first served).

Sweet Treat Tree for Christmas

The Christmas tree I created to have in the dessert shop travelled back North with me for the Holiday season! We all marveled at the collection I've managed to amass - through purchases and some creative craft time in my design studio. It was the talk of the season! I have ornaments shaped like cupcakes, slices of cake, tiramisu, cake under glass, chocolate tarts, candies, donuts of all kinds, gingerbread boys and girls, chocolate bars, just to name a few. Zoom in close and check it out!

Whew!!! What A Journey!!!

Hello everyone! After 3 1/2 LONG months in Atlanta - tirelessly searching for the right location for my business - I walk away exhausted, frustrated, disappointed and beginning the search again! I made some extremely valuable business contacts, and even made a significant business investment along the way (you know I may be a hippie, but I'm a capitalist hippie!)

I returned home for Christmas to spend it with my family, my man and my Yorkie!!! I missed them all. I'll be back on the search again as soon as the weather breaks - 3 snow storms and counting...stay tuned!!!
