Purim is right around the corner (that’s the Jewish Halloween if you wasn’t sure what Purim is) and that makes it perfectly perfect to bake some sweet goodies. You see, the tradition on Purim is to give friends and family the gift of sweet 🙂 and that is why kids and adults alike usually participate […]
My daughter turned 12 this year and in the Jewish religion it signifies a special age where a girl becomes a young independent woman. So although she’s not really independent yet (and I’m ok with it – don’t get me wrong), I though the occasion calls for a special cake. I thought quite a few […]

It’s Halloween baby! Tonight’s the night. The night where we come back home, grab a quick bite (aka dinner), get the kids into their costumes, put their makeup on, look for the trick-or-treating bags, find them, make sure we have enough candy to give out, meet friends and head out to trick-or-treat. Sounds hectic? Well, […]
