I spent the afternoon with my wife and friends at the new T-Mobile arena watching our new hockey team, the Vegas Golden Knights. When the game ended around 7:30pm, we walked back to the MGM Grand parking lot, hopped in our car and drove home. As I was laying in bed a few hours later,…
Luckily for us, how the cake looks, has nothing to do with how it tastes!
Our anniversary fell on a Saturday this year. When I asked Chris what she wanted to do, she said, “Let’s stay home and bake.” With that, Bake-Fest was on!! Now we just needed to figure out what we were going to bake. As soon as we started our new baking hobby, cheesecake was one of…
As I mentioned in the previous post, Chris and I stepped it up a bit and attempted 2 bakes at the same time. That’s not to say that we put them both in the oven together, no. But, as the Spiced Orange cakes were in the oven, we started mixing up the ingredients for another…
