I’m really bad about learning my lesson. Usually I have to make the same mistake three or four times just to make sure that it’s really a mistake and THEN I learn from it. Which is how we got today’s pastry. Remember the pineapple incident from a few weeks ago? Well in all honesty that was entirely my fault. However, this week’s issue was not my fault! Let me set the scene: I was placing my order for grocery delivery. I ordered two limes. The day they fulfill your order, the

I feel like 2020 has been more than enough to deal with so I don’t want to offer any tricks to you. That must mean that you’re getting a treat! That’s right, I have a brownie recipe waiting for you at the bottom of this post. Woohoo! But before we get to the recipe, I want to share with you my treat this week: The Sorting Hat!

To a cake. ::facepalm:: One of my guests even turned her cute little smiley face into a frown to reflect the seriousness of the situation, which only increased my desire to apologize. It was a mess. I guess I should

Ok friends, it’s confession time: I, too, am a PSL Hater™. Actually hate is a strong word. And it’s not just PSL, it’s the whole 'pumpkin spice mania' that I don’t like. So, PS Disliker™ is who I’ll be. My distaste for it actually didn’t start until after I graduated from pastry school because I had a moment of self-discovery, which I’ll explain in a bit. However, I do want to start by saying that I don’t hate pumpkin spice because people consider it “basic” or because women
