I know it's been a little too quiet around here this week, it's been one of those weeks for this baker. The kind where you want to just sit down with a bowl of chocolate frosting and let your thoughts drift into a sugar coma, you know what I'm talking about right?

Miss Friday Mourning Sprinkle Jewelry Giveaway!

Also, it's not a good idea to tackle a project you've been wanting to do for a year at the very last minute. ... [ read more... ]

Root Beer Float Macarons
My girls recently discovered root beer. Yea, there's no going back now. Every time we vist a restaurant they beg for us to swap out their waters for root beer. They get really excited when they see root beer flavored candy in the store or when mommy makes these cookies. I can't blame them, root beer was a childhood favorite. I have ,any good memoirist hanging out after work as a teenager with a ... [ read more... ]
