Yesterday, I received an email with the subject line: a borrowed cup of sugar and sweet baking victory. I get pretty stoked when any of you people take the time to email me – especially if it’s not hate mail – so I settled down with my morning coffee to read Eliza’s epic tale of baking. Also,…

That’s my Aunt Amy up there. On the left. I guess she liked standing on that side. She was my great aunt. She passed away on April 28th, at age 97, just before my 40th birthday. My 40’s will mark my first decade on this planet without her. Amy lived in Toronto for her entire…

. . . It’s here! The Summer of Woot Woot! That’s what I’m calling this summer. This summer before everything changes in the fall. And when I utter scream the words: Summer of Woot Woot, I really hit the woots. I like to yell Woot Woot, and then jump into the air. I jump really high…

I baked a cake for a Rutherford. I know. But it was for a child Rutherford. A child turning four. A child that likes pink. And just because her parents are weirdos doesn’t mean she shouldn’t get a huge, pink, sugary cake on her 4th birthday. Heck, you might feel so bad for her that…

Last week, I went to an orientation for baking school. It was very fun for: me. It was not fun for: 2.0. When I received the invitation for baking school orientation, I was very excited. The invitation for Get Started encouraged me to bring a loved one along. It suggested that I bring my parents and/or…

They send you taped greetings from their movie sets, touching tribute emails, photos of themselves with you, and also, fancy prezzies. I know, because I’ve…
Read Morethanks and stuff
Hey, you. Let’s chat. I’ve received an enormous number of emails expressing concern about some stuff that went down on my blog yesterday. My inbox was full this morning. Seems you’ve been pretty worried that my feelings may have been hurt by a couple of comments left upon the naming of Elsa as Bake My…

. . . Cripes, people. I’ve aged an extra year overnight. Yesterday’s Bake My Cake voting was off da hook. When I went to bed last night, Elsa, who had been in the lead for about 16 hours, was still in the lead. An eat-my-dust lead. Six hours later, I woke up and everything had…
