Subtle elegance. That is this cake. Simply Delicious. A little crunchy on the edges and moist and perfect on the inside.

Asian food. I am obsessed. And I’m so glad my kids like and eat it too.
If they didn’t, we’d have serious problems in this house.

I have birthdays and desserts on the brain this week. This was bound to happen.

I’m a wine drinker. Never acquired the taste for beer. I know. I know. But give me a glass of red or white and I am a very happy girl. In my early 20′s, I was a cheap date. One glass (maybe even half a glass) and I was tipsy. Now, I can hold my ... - Strawberry and Orange Bundt CakeMay 8, 2013
If you told me 3 years ago that I would have a food blog and would be head over heels in love with baking and cooking, I would have laughed in your face. Back then, I only knew of one food blog. One.
