This cake was made for a retirement party, after the Barefoot Princess was sold to new owners. I did my best to make the cake look as much like the real boat as I could, and learned a lot from the process. This is what the actual boat looks like. Three levels, two enclosed, withRead More

Pillow Cookies
What’s better than chocolate chip cookies? Well, a brownie baked inside. That’s right, a brownie baked inside. First, I made the brownies.
