Dear Gwendolyn - the baby shower was great fun and your cake was fabulous!! No one had the heart to cut into it because it was so beautiful. But, when I finally sliced and served it, the response was a unanimous one- best chocolate cake ever!! It was just delicious, and the frosting was so light that no one left a drop on their plate. I had several people ask me for your business card, so I showed them the pink ribbon & card. I would say you will have quite a few new customers.

Meet My Family

My husband and I have been married for 28 years (together for 33 years) and we have three incredibly wonderful sons who are now 26, 23 and 21. My boys and husband have always been my best food critics. My family is the reason why I love to cook. It fills up our home with love, laughter, happiness and good food. A family that cooks together, stays together. We are all very close and we have been together cooking since they were little. Even though they are all grown up, we are still cooking together today.

We also love dogs, meet our dog Huxley. He is a English creme retriever and a huge help in the kitchen.
