This past Christmas, I drew my dad’s name in our annual family gift exchange. I really wanted to do something thoughtful, so, I came up with the idea of making him a cake. Now, this wouldn’t be just any cake, I wanted to make him the cake that his mom used to make for him on...

Let’s Travel Back in Time, Shall We?
I’ve been thinking lately about where I started, and how far I’ve come with this whole “party” business. There has to be one or two of you out there who know that I had another blog, before this one, called “piece of cake parties”? It started out as a place for me to write about...
