While my husband is the chef of the house, I'm the baker and cake decorator. I start school in August at Antonelli College in Cincinnati for Interior Design. While baking is a passion of mine, I just love being able to be creative and put my ideas and creations out there.
My favorite things to cook
Baked goods. They're in high demand from everyone I work with at my full-time job. My most popular item is my cookie-brownie, and since I make "real roses" and not the Wal-Mart "rose" my friends and family are used to, I've been taking more orders and special requests than ever!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every year at Christmas with my dad's side of the family there is usually an 8ft table decked out with seafood, with just about everything you can think of: lobster, crab, scallops, a massive amount of shrimp, oysters, clams, I could go on! Then there's a table with dessert, another table with veggies and fruits, and then a card table that has ham and turkey and the like for those who don't like seafood.
My cooking tragedies
I tried baking brownies and added chocolate chunks, making the necessary adjustments as I went. I poured it into a greased pan as directed, but when they came out they were stuck to a greased, non-stick pan! I still haven't been able to live this one down...
