When I recently got a request to make a fishing cake, I’m not going to lie, I was a little intimidated. Not to mention, I had never sculpted with rice krispies or used food coloring as paint and I would have to do this in order to make this cake realistic. It took a few days, but overall this was a really, really “fin” cake
Ryan’s favorite dessert of all time is my Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. Recently we had guests over and I had an itch to use my Le Creuset Mini Cocottes, so I decided to do individual pies for everyone. I just love the bright colors of these little dishes and I love how special they feel when each person receives their own! My recipe is an
I had a last-minute request for a birthday cake and I just happened to have two 8 inch cake rounds laying around, one was blue, the other was red. So we decided this would be a Captain America cake! I used a stiff buttercream for the frosting since this cake would be traveling for 6 1/2 hours to Florida. I also made fondant accents to
I came across a little gem of a post on Facebook about the 90s and couldn’t help but share! Ok, all children of the 90s (yes I was technically born in the 80s, but whatev, I only REALLY recall my 90s childhood), so do you remember these things: Takes ya down memory lane right?! So here’s the brilliant link, 10 Things 90s Kids Will Have To
My 24th birthday was the second day of our Louisville trip and it was a blast. Not surprisingly, I wanted to go on a distillery tour – but not just any tour – the Buffalo Trace Distillery tour. This is the bourbon tour of bourbon tours, anyone can go on the Jim Beam or Makers Mark tours, but we made sure to call ahead and
And this my friends, is why Day 4 may have been the best night of the trip. Blackberry Farm. Really y’all, I’m having trouble even starting this post. I just know nothing I say or show you is going to even get CLOSE to how spectacular this experience was. Blackberry Farm is always a place that Ryan and I have wanted to visit. We just
Ok technically we headed out of Louisville on the 4th day of our trip, but it’s still the Louisville trip, so bear with me. Speaking of bears (sorry really corny, I know), we headed to Dancing Bear Lodge in Townsend, TN where we stayed for our last night of our trip. Not going to lie, this was definitely the best night of the trip. More
Yep, day 3 is still going strong. We sit down for a little drink and app because we’re so mealed out at this point (can you believe it?). Our bartender fills us in on all the great dinner and bar spots around town for our last night and then just happens to throw in a little bit about this jewel: The Urban Bourbon Trail. All
Ok really, we did do more than eat. Truly.Here’s some of the great things we crammed into our awesome little trip:One day when I’m rich and famous, I will own this $6K painting! Kathy Sullivan is definitely a top favorite artist. I had to bring a piece home with me, luckily she hand-stretched her Kentucky photo for this year’s Derby and I was lucky enough
Yes, I know, it looks like all we did this trip was eat! But, common, we couldn’t pass up Lynn’s Paradise Cafe. I mean she beat Bobby Flay in a breakfast throw down. And breakfast is my fav. This, by no means, was no normal breakfast. In fact, it was extraordinary, wacky and spectacular. Words can’t explain it, just. look. at. this. (Yes that is
