Turkish Coffee Cake Cookie Bars
I cannot believe first year law classes end in one week. And, patting myself on my own back, that I’ve kept up my blog throughout the whole year. I didn’t miss a single post! (Knock on wood.)

Mocha Truffle Cookies
Christmas with the Muncey’s was a marathon this year. I got home from skiing in Utah on Tuesday, and then had a party every day through yesterday. That’s four separate Christmas parties. A night-before-the-night-before party, a Christmas eve party, Christmas, and Pickett Christmas. Like I said, a marathon.
Lithuanian Coffee Cake

Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream
This weekend, I was fortunate enough to be able to go back home to Massachusetts to celebrate my grandmother’s eightieth birthday party with a large group of our family. I was even more fortunate to be asked to make the cake. You see, a couple summers ago I took a Wilton cake decorating class with my mom. We learned how to make all sorts of things and were definitely the superior mother-daughter team in the class. As part of that class, I made a whole bunch of royal icing flowers just to practice, and stored them away in tupperware (they …
