Crawl your way through the best bakeries of Portland and beyond!
Thanksgiving is almost here! I for one am counting down for the day of tons of turkey, stuffing and PIE! 🙂
A few months back the wonderful folks at Bob’s Red Mill asked me to create a healthy Thanksgiving dessert featuring their products. I feel completely flattered that they asked me to do such a thing.
Here is the blog post and recipe that can also be found here on Bob’s Red Mill’s site! It is a healthy spin on the Cranberry Pear Pie from Sono Baking Company’s cookbook.
Happy almost Thanksgiving everyone, aka my favorite day of the year!

My cake decorating class has officially come to a close.
Overall I’m super pleased with all that I learned. Sure, my cakes still need a little work, but I think in the 7 short weeks, my artistic skills have certainly improved!
Some of the key things I learned over the course of the class:
Here are a few of my creations over the last few weeks.
My friendly dinosaur made out of buttercream frosting and marshmallows. Isn’t he cute?!
My Doll Cake was one of my favorites. It was super fun to put together and there are so many creativity options between the dress and the doll you pick (it’s essentially half a Barbie).
