Hello! Happy First Week of School! That is what we are up to here in Whisk Together Land. 🙂 Lots of summer and sun and some screen time. We visited Washington DC and New York City in 5 jam-packed days of amazing sites! Since it was a tour, we were not able to go …
Cinnamon Rolls are just an amazing treat. Soft, pillowy dough with sweet brown sugar and icing. These are actually easier when made the night before because then you just pull them out of the fridge and bake them without getting up at 3 am. Current book I’m reading: I’ve finished The Blackbird Girls by Anne …
Happy Valentine’s Day! Book Update: My daughter wrote a book! I have spent the last 6+ months editing the amazing novel Sea Legs. It is available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback! We also have a signed version that is printed slightly off. I’m not sure why because the “no resale” version printed perfectly. My dream …
Happy Boxing Day! It is the day after Christmas which also means the day after Maddox’s birthday and Jesus’ birthday. So we have a cake either way! This year he (Maddox, not Jesus) requested Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden. It runs about $10 per slice at the restaurant, but I just knew it …
Hello! I have 8 days left to study for my National Counselor Exam and that has taken up any free time. 200 questions – less than 4 hours – 3 years of graduate-level material and the test is so hard you need around 100 out of 160 right to pass. It is classified as a …
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! This cake is the result of our family’s love of all things lemony. I’ve been using Todd Wilbur’s Top Secret Recipes books for many years and the Top Secret Recipes 2 book is probably my favorite out of all of them. So many great recipes in here that …
Happy weekend! I’ve been reading “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker PhD. It has over 20,000 reviews on Amazon and almost 5 stars! That’s a ton for a non-fiction book really. Most of the reviews you always see are for fiction. But anyway, I digress. If you want to learn the latest and greatest on …
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We always have a bunch of birthdays around Christmastime. I try to change up the dessert a little bit and still keep to the chocolate cake requests that happen every 2 weeks at this time of year. Buttercream is made with SO much butter and requires a bit …
Happy Summer! Here are the books I’ve been reading, and a recipe I created for book club! I had leftover wonton wrappers from making potstickers, so I thought it would be fun to fill them with cheesecake. But you could use graham crackers and butter or stuff hulled strawberries, too. (image credit: Amazon) “Don’t Trust …
Here’s a great addition to your Thanksgiving table this year!! This cake is so tasty and delicious! You have pumpkin, pecans, cinnamon, spices, AND caramel! This hits all the notes: crunchy, gooey, creamy and cakey. Let me say we really enjoyed this cake. I love pumpkin pie, but this was a lot of fun to …
