I'm working my way through school and my husband is working his way to a career in photography. We're on a tight budget, so I love creative recipes that make the dollar stretch! I love making desserts and decorating cakes and pastries. Every Christmas, my mom and I make any and every dessert that we have even the slightest craving for. My first attempt at apple pie. Everyone raved that it was by far the best they've ever had. My first attempt at cherry pie. I used frozen cherries and forgot to add the sugar. People politely choked it down...with lots and lots of ice cream on top.
