Monday Favorites


Hi guys -- I'm still here! Sorry to be MIA again lately, but it's a bit of an understatement to say that my life has been kuh-ray-zeeeee lately! It's gonna be at least another few days before I can return with my first recipe in who knows how long, but I thought I'd go ahead and share the food photography and music favorites I've nonetheless been saving up in my spare moments here and there. Below you can also find a quick phone snapshot of a strawberry and vanilla cake I baked this week for a Hello Kitty fan's 7th birthday this week! I didn't have the chance to meet Kara directly, but I sure hope she liked her strawberry-loving kitty ^-^.

How've you all been? I've really missed our interactions and can't wait til things calm down to get back on track.

    Xiaolu...where are you? that rhymes. i'm going to write a song for you. I decided. When you get your own cooking show, I will be a guest and play a song that rhymes. lol. love the key lime pie and the ampersand mosaic cake! Someone made the comment that Blogging is like exercise. Once you get off the horse it's not easy to get back on. I always think of that example.

    I miss your posts, even though I'm not too regular on the catching up on blogs! Those are some amazing looking cakes. And I love the styling, especially on those ice cones! And that key lime piee! If I wasn't so behind on my dissertation, I'd totally be making it!
