The holidays are here! Are you in full-on holiday baking crazy mode? Me too!
I opened up the latest issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray and to find a feature about kitchen tools that are necessary for holiday cooking. At first I was surprised that they included the cookie press. I had received one as a […]

Back in May, I was so busy baking for Brooklyn Kitchen’s Cupcake Cookoff that I forgot to take a decent pictures of my finished cupcakes.
