When my granddaughter Chloe turned four in October 2005, I made her a Princess Dream Cake, decorated with a tiara, princess "glass" slippers, silver dragees, and lots of pink and purple! She looks like she's in heaven, doesn't she?
In 2007 my husband Rick and I moved from suburban Chicago to Marshall, Minnesota. My transition from city girl to country girl has been eased by lots and lots of culinary therapy. I love nothing better than lavishly covering a homemade cake with creamy frosting, baking cookies with my grandkids, or making delicious dinners for my family and friends.
