Cake Mix Doctor!
Monday, December 3rd, 2007So, tonight the Cake Mix Doctor herself was visiting the Barnes and Noble in Cary. I dragged Oak along with my much-loved copy of the Cake Mix Doctor cookbook. While Oak spends hours laboring over Martha’s baked creations, when we need a quick weeknight baked good, Cake Mix Doctor always comes to the rescue. Plus, [...]
Final wilton cake
Sunday, November 5th, 2006Well, my Movable type finally seems to be working again (fingers crossed). I really need to switch blogging systems ASAP. But really I need a whole day (or evening) to set aside and do this. Or more, as I’ll need to export and import all the entries into whatever system I decide [...]

Workplace hoop-la
Wednesday, December 21st, 2005Have I mentioned that I’ve completely lost my magic with the corn-muffin making? Well, my corn muffins for the holiday potluck went largely uneaten. I left them in the conference room with some hope that someone would take them to feed to a starving dog or something.
I’m hoping that I can blame this [...]
The Xmas baking begins
Thursday, December 8th, 2005I am currently making Jiffy muffins for the annual my-building-my-floor holiday potluck. Hoo ha, let me tell you, it’s the party of the year!
I’m hoping to redeem myself after some rocklike corn muffins that I produced on Thanksgiving. (Apologies to those that had to eat them).
I think it’s the little paper muffin cups [...]
