I made this monkey cake a couple of weeks ago. It was during that week of so much cake baking that I forgot how to spell words and stay awake. Seriously, I don’t know what my problem is. The other day I went to bed at 8:30 PM. 8:30! If you ask Andrew he’ll tell [...]

I made them for Kathryn Hill’s son’s birthday. It was awesome. Pumpkin painting, giant apples, and the Not So Chilly Hilly Chili. I can’t say I’ve been to a 2-year [...]

This weekend we went up to NJ to celebrate the Ellster’s 60th birthday. The Ellster is Melissa’s dad and he’s pretty much just awesome. We’ve managed to celebrate the many of the major holidays with the Medoways and every visit is a ton of fun, filled with laughing, relaxing, and eating. Always eating. Usually I [...]
