The first time I truly remember creme brulee was when I worked at a restaurant in uptown Minneapolis, and I got to sample some one night. I’m certain I ate it prior to this, but there is no recollection before this moment. It was because I never saw the fantastic way these desserts are finished….

Melted Chocolate Cake Decorations
It’s the first year that the kid wanted me to make the birthday cake instead of buying it from Target or somewhere like that and I dove right in! Her biggest request is that she wanted some sort of awesome dance party kind of cake. The big theme was blue, as you probably can see….

Almond Chocolate Meringues
I know that it is still a few weeks away…but I am ready for spring. And when I think spring, I think light, soft, pastel and fluffy. These meringues satisfy all of those ideals of the season. Oh, and I threw in some chocolate, too…just for good measure. So, at one point, I will admit…
