Taste of Chocolate
Feb. 11 was the Craig Downtown Business Association Art Walk and Taste of Chocolate Event. I participated as a chocolatier. Having never even been to the event before I didn’t know what types of chocolate are popular or what other people in town are known for so I kind of felt like I had a [...]

Although I think fondant looks neat, I’ve been opposed to fondant for many years because it doesn’t taste very good compared to buttercream frosting. And, on all the shows that I see artists working with fondant for cakes [...]
Strawberry Pie
Here is a strawberry pie I made for my dad for Father’s Day. It was yummy. Thank you Pam Anderson of Three Many Cooks for the recipe.
