Here’s a little video we made to celebrate the new year and show off some of our newest designs. The song is called “All Smiles” by Jess Penner. Catchy, isn’t it?

Enjoy!

This time of year, Susie and I have been know to “run errands” some afternoons.  This is code for “we’re going out for a slice of Harvest Pie”.  It’s a scrumptious concoction served a local chain bakery restaurant that is near our studio.  We look forward to it’s arrival each year as a reminder that [...]

This weekend, Sunday to be exact, we’ll be baking up a storm for a community fundraiser. We are so saddened by the events in Japan and this event definitely has it’s heart in the right place. The event is being put together by Jonathan Sample at Fresh Pressed Screen Shop here in Los Angeles. The [...]

How could I not pick this little binder book off the shelf at a local thrift shop? I couldn’t tell at first what is was. With all that crazy paisley pattern going on, I initially missed the gold, curly-q lettering on the cover that says “Cooking Clips”. Even without knowing exactly what it was at [...]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after being with my sweetie for 19 years, it’s that pie is the way to a man’s heart! I’ve made lots of pies for him, including mini-pies and hand pies and even pie-topped pancakes, but these teeny tiny pies seemed like a really sweet way to say “I *heart* [...]

Labor Day is the weekend, which for most, signals the end of summer.  Kids are back in school, in many places the weather makes a distinct change, summer parties come to a halt. I always get a little down right about now; sad that the days have slipped by. At the beginning [...]

We’ve had many emailed requests for some of the recipes featured in our Cake vs. Pie Party posts last week. You asked and so you shall receive! Here are links to some recipes: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake, Orange Caramel Cake, and Maple Sugar Hazelnut Pie. Below are the recipes for the Lemon Ginger Cake and the Mini [...]

Of all the things I cook and bake from scratch, I’ve never really ventured into bread making. Baking bread has always seemed a bit scary to me (crazy, I know). Back in February I tackled a recipe for big, soft Bavarian pretzels and they were a delicious success. This past weekend, I took the plunge [...]

The other day Jan, a colleague of ours, mentioned that she was making Lemon Sponge Pudding for her family.  I wasn’t familiar with it, so she sent the recipe over for me to try. After making it, I can see why it’s her family’s favorite!

First of all, it’s so easy to make.  It was in [...]

It always amazes me how food connects us as human beings.  A memorable meal, a childhood treat, a favorite weeknight dinner; the memory of food ties us to people, places and times in our lives.

When we were growing up, our Mom used to make these Madeleines often.  Originating in France, they are a delicious cross [...]
