Weekend Wrap-Up

Mini chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting


Yellow Cake with Bittersweet Ganache and Marzipan Eggs


Perhaps the only nutritional meal consumed over three days --

Working off the sugar --

Easter baskets

A smashed clown nose

Sophie's Easter basket

Sophie, attempting to eat a chocolate ladybug

Does Sophie look a bit like Bob Dylan here or what?

The wraparound balls were a huge hit. Way to go, Easter bunny!


I also made Ms. Moon's Angel Biscuits, and there's a big bowl of the dough sitting in my fridge. Last night we ate them with ham and honey. They were excellent, and it was good to be eating a little something permeated by such a dear blogger friend!

    The cake (pictured above, I might add) was DIVINE. Everybody just loved it, and I think it tasted better because I know you baked it :)

    Very classy Easter Baskets and yes, Sophie DOES look like Bob Dylan, early years.
    I hope the biscuits turned out to be lovely. I would so wish that. I wish I could make them for you. That's what I really wish, dear Elizabeth.

    I've been away and have somehow missed (I think) what you finally settled on as the name and website for your cakes -- what is it? I was just in New Orleans and took some pictures of fabulous pastries at a wonderful place called Croissant d'Or; will post soon; thought of you...
