Rich Chocolate Birthday Cake

June 18, 2014

Here in Canada we have long, cold and dreary winters. I’m not a winter person, so summer can’t come fast enough. Once the temperature heats up a bit I love to invite people over for outdoor BBQ’s, dinner on the lawn or just a casual picnic. The season is so short, I think we need …

Chocolate Pavlova with Mascarpone Cream and Cherries

When Style Me Pretty Living asked me to make another pink ombré cake in time for Valentine’s Day, I was happy to oblige.
