Sometimes in life… you just need some cake. This month has been one of those months for me. Two big trips, lots of photography client deadlines, and a move (more on that later) mixed right in the middle of it all. I wondered if baking a cake would distract me enough to simmer down a…

Whiskey Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sandwich
This past weekend, I drove back to my home state of Kentucky for the first of many warmer weather lake weekends.

It seems only appropriate to celebrate spring and summer finally showing it’s pretty little face with a twist…
Malted Milk Chocolate Macarons (Robin Egg)
Move over Easter Bunny, I’m taking over the candy gig this year! — The absolute best part of the spring season, other than the actual daylight after noon that we finally get, is the candy. Y’all know what I’m talking about. It’s those bags of malted milk candy shell eggs that pull me into the…

Eclipse Mirror Galaxy Glazed Moon Pies
It’s no secret that I am a total nerd. Working as a research biologist goes hand-in-hand with my love of very technical baking. Lately, there has been a huge geek-fest going on because of the upcoming eclipse. This is the first total solar eclipse in the continental US since 1970. People are losing their minds…
Blueberry Buttercream Macarons
As a food photographer, I am constantly filling up hard drives with photos. Most of them sorta just disappear into the deep, dark folders of my computer to never again be seen. The select few get edited and used for blog posts, client advertising, some magazine articles. Every so often, I’ll be browsing around for…
