Originally from New England, I am a college instructor for mathematics in Tucson, AZ.
My favorite things to cook
I make anything from chocolates (caramels, truffles, toffee, you name it!), to flans, fondant cakes, flans, sauces, and curries. Anything Italian, French, Thai, Southwestern, Irish, New England, :) I make 3d cakes from scratch (dragon shaped, castles, pirate ships, etc)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Cookie bake offs, holiday candy making, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Very large family.
My cooking triumphs
A city skyline 3 tiered, 3d cake with fondant that people actually loved. Big, elaborate meals for 30-60 people at a time.
My cooking tragedies
I made a 3D pirate ship cake with an island made of rum cake and treasure chests, etc. The pirate ship couldn't support the weight of the rum and it fell over!
