Two friends, miles apart, who love to bake!
Can you believe Thanksgiving is this week?? It falls late this year, so it seems like I should be ready. But somehow here we are again, with a holiday sneaking up on me. If you are hosting this year I’m sure the last thing you …
If we’re being honest here, I’m not much of a frosting person. I’ll eat it, but I’d prefer whatever is underneath. Frosting kind of just gets in the way. When I made this Red Wine Chocolate Cake, I knew I wanted to incorporate the fruit …
