It’s Tuesday! Time to check out another great recipe from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours! This week, we finally – and let me stress finally – got to make the Perfect Party Cake! It seems that Carol of Mix Mix, Stir Stir was the first of us bakers that was daring enough […]
Tiredof me posting cookies yet? I hope not! It seems like they have consumed a big part of my existance lately, and I really love doing them! These are cookies for our (pseudo) nephews Baptism this week. Pseudo because the Mom & Dad aren’t actually related to us, but they may as well be. They […]
I can’t believe I lived my entire life up until last year without ever having eaten a Pop Over. I know! Sheltered a bit, I guess! So if it’s possible that I never had one, much less made one, I assume that maybe there is someone else out there who’s not in the know…and it’s […]
Unfortunately, the pictures from this wedding are not very good – the lighting was terrible. But as you can see, the food was set up in a small family dining room. We had the center table witht chafing pans of pasta salad, a fabulous tiered stand full of chicken salad filled puffs & Southwestern Ham […]
It’s Cookie Time again! Here’s just a few of the wedding cookies I made for the Sweets Table of last Saturday’s wedding. Obviously, their colors were lilac and green. I heard a lot of ooohs and ahhhs and OhLookHowCutes! – so I hope that means they were a hit! I have a big order of […]
Wow. I knew I had been busy, but didn’t realize I have left the DoughMessTic site un-updated for so long. 3 days and no post. Eeek. Well, truth be told I have been beyond overwhelmed. I had another 200+ person wedding to cater on Saturday. Again, heavy hors d’oeuvres & a sweets table, but serving […]
I’m falling behind, ya’ll. No two ways about it. It’s not a dire situation yet. I guess if it comes right down to it, I should be able to count “5 Little Monkeys” and “I See a Monster” in my repertoire of books, right? Let’s just hope I don’t have to resort to such treachery. […]
Would it be wrong to thank God for Twitter? Well, I am going to do it anyway. Thank you God. If not for Twitter, I would never have come across this uber simple and divine cupcake. It can be soooo simple, or, if you have the time, a little more consuming. Either way, you have […]
Word of mouth is a good thing. Little did I know that by making two large fruit & veggie trays for my sister last week that I would be getting a phone call a couple of days later…wanting more fruit & veggie trays from someone who saw mine. And, since it was for a Baby […]
Jessica of My Baking Heart chose Parisian Apple Tartlets for our Tuesdays With Dorie escapades this week. Thank you, Jessica! Let me tell you why… Ease. Price. Taste. Hooray! No dirty dishes, other than a spoon, a knife, and a baking sheet. Heaven? Probably. But, and this is almost too pathetic to admit…I had never […]
Friday is my Dad’s birthday. For like, 3 months I have been looking forward to it, because I had in my head that I was going to be a super-hero cake baker and bake him a 3D ’55 Chevy, just like the one he has. Nevermind you that I have never made a 3D cake […]
