Here’s the cake I made for Independence Day. It didn’t turn out quite like I was hoping it would …
I guess it isn’t really a true cake wreck since I did manage to spell USA correctly. And I’m not a professional by any stretch of the imagination.
My cupcakes turned out much better. Don’t you just [...]

Occasionally I worry that I will run out of things to blog about. Then I do something like visit Dollar General and all my fears are laid to rest. That’s where I found this hollow chocolate Easter bunny … Hollow … as if to symbolize the fact that he doesn’t appear to have a soul [...]

Preachers love to get Jesus stuff. Just ask them, they’ll tell you. One of the former preacher’s wives at our church once got a velvet Jesus pillow. That was probably the best gift she ever got!
Seriously, though. Our current preacher and one of our associate preachers (who happens to be my mother) really do love tacky [...]
