spice is nice…

On November 14, 2011 By

I’m not above bribery to try and excuse my long blog absence.

I’m really not.

So, I come bear­ing cake. Not just any cake, but a fes­tive, spicy, tastes-so-jolly-you’ll-be-spiking-the-soy-nog-and-belting-out-carols-while-you-bake-it Bundt cake. It doesn’t get any bet­ter than that.

I usu­ally revel in the pump­kin run up to Thanks­giv­ing, cram­ming it into every nook and […]

On September 9, 2011 By

Today’s the big day! Does this mean that I’m truly a grown up now?

I took the day off of work and have an awe­some “me” day planned– 30 sun salu­ta­tions on my front deck, to cel­e­brate each of my jour­neys around the sun, fol­lowed by break­fast, then a com­pli­men­tary birth­day acupunc­ture appoint­ment and a 1 […]

On August 19, 2011 By

Okay, so I’m doing a give­away but there is a catch. This will not be ran­dom, the win­ner will be picked solely at the dis­cre­tion of my taste buds.

In less than a month, I will turn the big 3–0. I’m totally okay with it, I’m excited to have my twen­ties behind me, actually. […]

even though it’s warm– let them have cake!

On June 10, 2011 By

Sorry for being MIA. I should be back to a more nor­mal post­ing schedule soon.

Until then– a cake for you to bake in your rice cooker! This cake is from the Not-Baked chap­ter in my new cook­book. It’s too darn hot to run your oven, but it’s not fair for Mother Nature to expect […]

mary had a little lamb (cake)…

On April 13, 2011 By

Last sum­mer I ended up inher­it­ing a set of cast iron cake pans. They had been in the fam­ily for sev­eral gen­er­a­tions and are in the shape of 3-D lambs. I wasn’t famil­iar with this tra­di­tion and a lit­tle inter­net research brought me to learn more about these sought-after lamb cake molds.

The tra­di­tion of lamb-shaped […]
