I know the anticipation has been building for some time, so today I finally announce the outcome of Building C. In all honesty, I hope this post does not let you down, or leave you frustrated or feeling sorry for me. Instead, I want you to think of it...
Well, after months of rain, it's finally kicked into real (sunny) summer weather here in Missouri, and I'm gearing up to enjoy it this weekend with a walk in the park and picnic with hubby. (Our form of date night!) Come to think of it, I'd like to...
Our CookieCon interview series continues this month with none other than Monica Holbert of Cookie Cowgirl, one of the most talented (and most humble) cookie painters I know! We live-chatted with Monica what seems like eons ago (my, how...
Practice Bake Perfect Challenge #10 is officially one for the books. I could not have been more impressed with the depth and overall quality of the entries we received. It is no small feat of planning and execution to produce a dozen...

Surprise! I've got a twist on the usual Saturday Spotlight - a special video collaboration! Back in January, eight members of the YouTube Dessert Network were put to the test! And what a fun test it was! ("Fun test"?!! I know, I know, that...
In last month's post, I announced that I put an official offer on Commercial Space C (below). And while I am sure you are dying to know the outcome, I mustn't get too far ahead of myself! I need to address some very important steps that I had to take...
Seeing as I'll be on a plane all of Saturday and into Sunday (yikes!), I thought I'd be early with the Spotlight for a change. And as I've still got loads of cookies and decorating tools to pack, I'm going to keep this intro unusually brief...
I was able to meet Katy Metoyer of Sugar Dayne at CookieCon 2014 and have been following her ever since. Over the last few months, I have noticed a shift in her decorating. Her style has become more expressive and free, filled with bright colors...
