Have you ever???
A recent conversation with a colleague, regarding recipes and how important it is for a baker to familiarize themselves with the steps when conquering a new technique, got me thinking: Have you ever done something like misread the directions and put the temperature at 400 instead of 300?? What do you do next? Redo the batch or deal with it and eat what you've made? Talk about anger management!!

Black & White MJ Birthday Cupcakes
These Michael Jackson Black & White Velvet mini cupcakes were made for a recent birthday of a personal friend. Since our red velvets are so divine, we decided to personalize the cakes for the major MJ fan and add little chocolate jimmies along the way.

Spatula vs Spatula
Have you ever realized that some of us call two completely different utensils the exact same name?! It wasn’t until recently when we became aware of a debate that has been pressing our friends and fellow bakers for years.
What do you call these items?
Spatula? Or turner?
This is a ________
Spatula? Or scraper?
This is a ________
According to the Webster-Merriam Dictionary, spatula is defined as "a flat thin implement used especially for spreading or mixing soft substances, scooping, or lifting"; while a flipper is "one that flips".
Experiment and ask your friends and family, you'll be surprised with what you find out!
