Piece of Cake, L.A.

Random-adjacent fact of the day!! The tradition of the wedding cake comes from ancient Rome, where guests broke a loaf of bread over the bride's head for fertility's sake.

Happy birthday to Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, born this day in 1804 and founder of the first U.S. kindergarten!

As if completing school isn’t hard enough - finishing it during a global pandemic??? At the VERY least, cake is warranted if not absolutely necessary.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamas!! Thank you for all that you do - for the things we recognize and the times we neglect to remind you how truly amazing, irreplaceable, and Goddess-like you are.

The Year of the Ox (or oxen, as the cake may be) (see what I did there?) follows after the Year of the Rat (the first year of the zodiacal cycle) which happened in 2020 and it then is followed by the Year of the Tiger, which will happen in 2022!

Ganache: equal parts cream and chocolate (and in this case, @americolor leaf green coloring). History says that one day, a French pastry master in Paris asked his assistant to melt chocolate and heat cream. The assistant did both and without direction combined the two ingredients. The master saw what had happened and was infuriated, yelling at his assistant that the mixture was a total ganache (which was an insult in the days of yore (IYKYK)). The insult is probably from the French word "Ganacher, which means to slog, as if walking through mud.

Happy Valentines Day! or as I call it: Sunday!

Made some #BrownButterMochi a la @s0niayang who treated me to a video of her little nugget enjoying one.

I couldn’t come up with a caption for this photo so I would LOVE to hear yours!!! Aaaaaand...... GO!

Normally I receive warm cinnamon buns (I’m absolutely favorite) on Christmas but since @l_c_simon had the audacity to move to Cleveland, I caved and made them myself.

Happy weird week between Christmas and New Years! The date today is Monday, December 28th, 20747392. Please enjoy this ridiculously cute nugget. #AtTiuDe.
