I'm 49, married 32 years. I have 3 grown children, 2 grand-daughters, and a great bird that talks. I have been a professional cake decorator for 20 years.
My favorite things to cook
cakes of all kinds, cookies, desserts, comfort food, old-fashioned farm-good dishes
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every year the first snowfall means my special chili recipe. Christmas is when I make my special candy and cookies, and gingerbread houses.
My cooking triumphs
Making my children's wedding cakes. Making all the desserts for the sky boxes at Lambeau Stadium in Green Bay. Making cupcakes for Brett Favres daughter. I also made a birthday cake for Pete Rose, and cookies for the visiting Dallas Cowboys.
My cooking tragedies
I was just married and was preparing beef liver for my new husband. I cooked it too long and it was like shoe leather. My husband ate it anyway.
