I,m 48and 3/4's, I work in a family owned bakery. When it comes to cakes baking and being an icing artist . I have over thirty years experience. I come from a family who plans their holidays and vacations around food. My mom started me out on an easy bake oven at five years old with a bowl of homemade cookie dough. when I was growing up, ready made mixes weren't appreciated. My cooking, my boys(2), and my pets, 3 rescue doggies,1 bossycat, 1 fish and my family keep me busy and happy. desserts My family loves to grill, and we love southern soul food. I love to take recipes as patterns and make my own personal version. I rarely use a recipe at face value as is. Right now I,m trying to master the art of slowcooking. I can,t seem to make a great macaroni and cheese
