The Daring bakers Make…Gingerbread Houses

That’s right…from scratch. Not those “ready to decorate” deals you pick up at Walmart, but REAL gingerbread houses. The December 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi. They chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch. They […]

the most perfect cinnamon rolls

When I went to Maine on our trip a couple of months ago, I was thrilled to meet Carrie, the gal behind Fields of Cake. Sadly, I showed up with a box of Dunkin Donuts. Those things are everywhere up there! Jon explained that apparently, when you get your driver’s license up north, you also […]

oh, cakes

Here is the reason you have seen so little of me. DoughMessTiCakes. And me being me? I can’t say no to a single order, even if they do all come at once. So, this week, thus far, I have made: A First Birthday Cake for a friend (one of my many Commune Roommates), who’s son […]

Christmas Wish Lists

90th Anniversary 5Qt Stand Mixer Candy Apple Red

It seems that so many bloggers are making holiday wish lists this year, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity! The holidays are, to me, more about giving than receiving, but hey – if you are determined to buy me something? Look no further! Here’s what I want! But, to keep it from being ALL […]

because I can

I rarely, if ever, get negative comments on my blog. I mean, really? Who feels the need to be nasty to a Foodie/Mommy Blogger? Aren’t we about the most socially backward people on the planet? (Okay, maybe it’s just me, but I somehow doubt it.) Anyway, this commenter. I thought about just letting it go. […]

Time for an Update

Maybe you are wondering about Pizza Hut. Are you? Did you wonder if they tried to reach out to me? I’m just a measly little blogger after all…why would a huge corporation like Pizza Hut care what Susan Whetzel has to say? I’ll tell you why. Social Networking. In the old days (you know, circa […]

truffle surprise mini cakes

This weekend, although swamped (yay!) with cake orders, I needed to pull together a yummy dessert to take to a friends house. We’re talking just a couple of hours of leeway, so there was no time for digging through recipes…but I wanted something decadent and memorable. We don’t always have time for complicated around here, […]

Cupcakes, all grown up

Yesterday we were invited to a party to watch football and eat turkey. A group of 20 Hokie fans, ready for great food and a great ballgame. Little did we know we’d be watching the Georgia Tech team eat turkey as well. It were UGLY, folks. Let’s move on from that. I decided to contribute […]

welcome, fall

Yesterday was a beautiful Fall day -cool, crisp, a little rainy. The leaves here are starting to change a bit, and everywhere you look, pumpkins are for sale. Oooh, pumpkin. For me, there is no other symbol of autumn that can compare in both beauty and taste. Sure, the apple puts up a good argument, […]

Best Birthday Cake…ever

Or is it a torte? You see, I am still new to the kitchen/baking lingo. What’s the difference between a torte and a cake? Sure, I could Google it, but I feel sure one of you will know and fill me in. Until then, this is a cake. Over the weekend, my in-laws were in […]

Join the Club

Three years ago, before Seven was born, we joined our local Country Club. It’s not what I would say fancy. Or smart. Or Southern Genteeeeel. It’s more like the place for us middle class folks to take our kids to the pool while our husbands putter around the 9 hole course and drink beer all […]

The most gorgeous sandwich…ever.

Many of you readers know that I have this thing for Nutella. I put it in cheesecakes. Pies. Dumplings. Cookies, Cakes, Brownies. There have been very few things I have not wanted to cover in the creamy, chocolaty, hazelnutty goodness. That being said, I am still a relatively new Nutella convert….we’re only a year into […]
