Story time. I also forgot to mention that she “borrowed” a page from my wedding cake photo album. The caterer said she “accidentally “ opened the binder and the page fell into her bag. I am guessing she wanted to show the cake design to other bakeries and didn’t realize she would like our cake the best. I remember the flavor as if it was yesterday:

Ramango Cake: 4 layers of Mango Cake, one layer of mango raspberry swirl cheesecake, and two layers of fresh mango and fresh raspberry with raspberry buttercream.

If that scenario happened today, regardless of the situation or ask, it would have been a hard NO. In hindsight saying yes to the caterer didn’t help him as much as it allowed her bad behavior to continue without consequence. Oh well, I learned a hard lesson

Customers can choose not to use a business’s service/product, and businesses need to remember that they the same right to set boundaries. Oh boy, what a conversation 56 year old me would have with 31 year old me. So now Jordan gets to hear these stories.😂

is rain or shine and they are open until 12:00 today.

I especially like to go on the days that aren’t so nice because all of these wonderful small businesses are working hard to be available to us.

Where are my Pecan Sable Cookie fans? It is one of my Aunt Mary and Dad’s favorite cookie.

Calling all cookie bakers and testers!!!

I am circling back about the Chocolate Chip Cookies. I think I have my final version of a Chewy Chocolate Chippy Chunk Cookie. I use milk chocolate chips and Dark Chocolate Bars ( 72 %), mainly dark chocolate.

I will choose three people who are willing to try my recipe and share a picture and tag . I will also give you a few baked cookies to compare the look and taste.

In comments please let me know, again 😊, that you are interested.

My Rules of Baking:

1. please do not substitute or ask for substitutions.

2. Read through the recipe twice before baking, it prevents that last minute rush to the store.

3. Don’t be in a rush, baking should be fun.😊

This is a great explanation of Nice versus Kind.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful moms out there and for those moms that are no longer with us. May we celebrate them today as well, through stories, conversations, laughter and tears. Tears are the price we pay for getting to love so deeply, and that is a precious gift for a lifetime.🥰❤️🌷

I thought I would share a baking miss because social media usually only shares the perfect moments. Baking can be challenging and I had one of those moments today. I was making pound cake for my family and was also going to surprise a couple friends. Well, the surprise was on me😂😂.

I was reminded not to experiment when I know I need the dessert and there isn’t a lot of room for error, also as the saying go goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

My dad always say, “ I am using vernacular for emphasis.”😂😂

Also, don’t bake when you are pressed for time. In my case, that’s usually where things go South.

Luckily, I know enough baking science that I can usually back into my baking error(s). The good news for Jordan is since I am making it again, I can set aside some batter for him. He still loves the raw batter. I will take my chances with eating raw batter or cookie dough. I’ve made it to 56 years old sampling raw batter, so it is hard for me to say no to Jordan for a simple ask.

Happy Baking! Remember to give yourself grace in the kitchen.
