Halloween gives me a chance to let that inner child in me come out and pretend I am a kid again enjoying the excitement of the holiday from decorating my home, to handing out candy to the neighborhood children, even dressing up in holiday gear, and to baking creative recipes showcasing the holiday. It’s always … Continue reading
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Over the years I had many character and specialty pans that I used to make cakes; for the kids and adults – mainly birthdays, holidays and special occasions.

I always like to make something new for Halloween and this year it is a simple bark. This is one of the easiest desserts you can make and it is also a great one to make with kids. You take care of melting the chocolate and they can decorate.
TRICK-OR-TREAT AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I couldn’t let Halloween go by without making something new for this favorite holiday.

Since Halloween is just a week away I thought I would post these “cute pumpkins” now just in case any of you would like to make them. They can be a little time consuming but so worth it. You know – chocolate and Oreos – you can’t get much better than that! They really get … Continue reading
How many of you remember E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial movie by the one and only Steven Spielberg? It’s been awhile; June 11, 1982, with a very young Drew Barrymore.
