At my office I am known as one of the few resident bakers. Many times, I will bring in one of my confections & my coworkers will make comments like “wow, I wish I could do that”…and I thought “you know, it’s not really that hard & I love showing people how to bake…” Thus [...]

Out of every fall activity available in the North East, apple picking is my favorite.
