Well, I did two things I’ve never done before. One, I worked with fondant, and two, I made buttercream frosting. I had worked with Sculpey (modeling clay) before and it was pretty similar to fondant, so that was quite a bit of fun. I don’t know why I thought fondant…
Nothing says spring like lemons, and when it comes to lemons, I am a big fan. Someday, I’d like to own my own bake shop, and I’d possibly call it Sweet Lemon. My husband, who is a big lemon fan too, thinks I should change it to Sweet Pale Lemon (since…

I first made these brownies around Christmastime my junior year in college. While they didn’t secure a boyfriend, they certainly helped me make many friends!
