Pacific Northwesterners love snow. I say this because we don’t get it very often and it usually doesn’t last. Yesterday was our first snow of the season, and it was a very light dusting. My one-and-a-half-year-old son was intrigued by the large white stuff floating down from the sky and…
Cake balls have become one of my favorite desserts to make. I don’t make them all fancy and wonderful like Bakerella does, (she’s amazing!); mine are just plain and simple. And I’ve learned a lot in the two years that I’ve been making them. In this post I’ll tell you some tips…
