My girl friend Martha and I were having lunch yesterday at our new favorite hangout, Chef Point Cafe. We talked about the typical musings of everyone we know (all in good fun of course) and then talked about this being her 2nd year to do the 3 Day Walk for breast cancer. I had been thinking about joining her this year. See, my Mom died of ovarian and colon cancer in 1997 at age 55, and my sister died of pancreatic cancer in 1992 at age 25… Click Here to read more…

This buttery, dense, dark chocolate cake is nothing less than spectacular, if I do say so myself! I have been tinkering with the recipe for over 9 weeks, and I am really happy with the final result. Here are the highlights of the past two months creating this little darling…Click Here to read more…

Oh my gosh, I can’t tell you how much fun I had at my Ribbon Cutting celebration (but I’ll try).

Central Market graciously hosted the celebration in the Patisserie, how much better could it possibly be? So many people came to help me celebrate. Keller Chamber of Commerce ambassadors, my new Central Market family, friends and new customers, and (get this!) Honorable John Terrell, Mayor of Southlake! Click Here to read more…

Well, after meeting and greeting so many wonderful people at the Central Market store over this past weekend, and hearing so many delicious ideas for flavor combinations over the past few months, I have decided that I am going to let you—the real taste experts—do me a flavor and help create my next Babycake liqueur cake.

I made my first delivery this morning to Central Market in Southlake and I am so excited! My dream when I started my little bakery last year was to (some day) see my Babies on display at a Central Market, the crème de la crème of grocery stores. Click Here to read more…

I must admit, I am not a chocoholic. But, this cake is slowly but surely converting me. Over the past couple of weeks I have been talking to my dear friend, Nita, about what my next “recipe” might be. I was thinking Spring so visions of vanilla and lavender and vodka were coming to mind. Or, maybe lemon verbena and vodka. I’m anxious to create another vodka cake…so moist and tasty. I wondered if Homestead Farms down the street is growing herbs this year…I’ll just have to go visit. Fresh herbs. Ooooo, that sounds yummy. Click Here to read more…

It wasn’t too long ago that my friend, Dr. Kweethai Neill, encouraged me to start following my passion and start a baking business. Of all the things I love to do – gardening, dog training and agility, knitting, silk painting, investigating (I’ve been a private investigator for about 15 years), photography – the one thing I am most passionate about is cooking. Playing in the kitchen and feeding others is the bee’s knees. Click Here to read more…
