About this Cook
I'm 30 - work as a graphic artist, love taking pictures, keep aquariums as a hobby (someday I'm going to be able to hire someone else to come clean them for me, though! ha!)  I love being auntie to death! Together with my husbands side, we have 3 nephews, 5 neices & 1 nephew/neice on the way - due in about 2 weeks!!!  My mom started me in baking/cooking when I was little, and I still like to swap recipes with her today!
My favorite things to cook
Lately, it's been birthday cakes for my neices. My latest was a princess castle - complete with sugar cones for towers.  That was fun to make!  If there was more time in the day, I'd sure like to cook more, but when I can, I sure do like to bake!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every year, my husband and I have thanksgiving at our house.  One baked turkey & ham - and of course, one deep-fried turkey, too! (I still can't believe that's actually good! ha) My husband loves the fact that he gets to endulge in the first bottle of wine while cooking turkey! :) :) :) (ok, I help with that part!)
My cooking triumphs
hmmmm... maybe with the help of everyone here - I might have a triumph!
My cooking tragedies
Christmas baking was a bit of a tragedy this year!  I had sugar cookies that were sooo sticky we couldn't roll out - added flour and the taste proved that! (garbage can!)  THEN right after those, we had no-bake cookies that didn't harden! sheesh!  what a year!  ha!

Hamburger Cake
This is by-far the most fun I've ever had making a cake! Thanks SO much for posting this recipe! :) I think next time I make it I will try using fondant instead of candies for the toppings. Someone mentioned in their review to put crushed oreos in the chocolate frosting on the "burger" part of cake - that was awesome!! Really added texture! Great Idea! For the cheese, I used Peachy-O's candies (i washed off sugar, and microwaved to melt) then coated small square pan with cooking spray - dusted with white sugar, and poured melted peachy-o's in (sugar was to keep candy from sticking again). That came out of pan nicely, and square like slice of cheese. My white gumdrops for onions didn't turn out, so I omitted. Will add next time, when using fondant. Thanks again!
