I started on my Easter wrap-up posts. I have them about half ready for you, but then I just ran out of time. (Here’s a sneak peek and what I’ve been working on). Have I told you about my April? Well, after hosting Easter, we had a garage sale last weekend, my daughter’s birthday and…
So I’m not throwing a fancy St. Patrick’s Day dinner tonight, but I did make this cake to celebrate the occassion. Well, that and Gourmet Mom threw down a challenge to come up with a clever way to use her cute leprechaun downloadables. And you know how I love a challenge! I decided the best…
Just a quick post to show you this adorable cake and cupcakes made by a reader of My Insanity. I mention that because that is how I found her. I really wish that I could claim to be the inspiration behind this brilliance, but I’m afraid this insanity all belongs to the mommy of The…
Are you ready for Chocolate Overload? Here is the report on our Chocolate-themed gourmet group dinner, this year. Invitation: These are the invitations I created.

And it wasn’t just a party…It was an ADVENTURE! INVITATION: You see here one of the “kimmunicators” we made for invitations. The screen was a…
Oops! Somehow I pressed publish before I even wrote this post. I’d better hurry and finish it before people think I’ve lost it…Oh, nevermind. They already know I have! One of my friends has a daughter that is turning 4 in a couple of weeks, and though I know all too well the challenge a…
Remember these? Well they were included in Bakerella’s latest montage of cupcake pops from around the world. My pops are featured for about 2 seconds, 2/3 of the way through the long montage, but Bakerella called me (and everyone else featured) a pop star! It’s fun to see what everyone has done with her clever…
