I’m not much for flowers or chocolate…well, in certain applications, but, you know, not so much bouquets and heart-shaped boxes. More rose water and cacao nibs.

Friday, October 9th, 2009Is ice cream season over? Does ice cream ever really go out of season? I hope not.
Long Time Coming
Sunday, August 30th, 2009It’s been a while since I’ve posted a certain little something…something a little tricky, a little fussy, but always worth it…when it works.

Makin’ Friends… With Cake!

Iron Cupcake Earth: Savory II
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009My entire life, I’ve dreamed of the day I would move away from Maine, preferably to a city. I don’t like being relatively isolated, having to drive significant distances to get to anything interesting or unusual, and being years behind trends in food and fashion. Luckily within a few months I’ll be in The Very [...]
