And Now for Something Completely Different...

I throw everything I have into everything I do. A few days ago I posted an excerpt from my book, describing The First Time She Laid Eyes on Him which, as luck would have it, happened in an ice cream parlor. You might have guessed already that I have a true passion--no, not for the hero of the story, but for ice cream. So this week, I thought I would post fun images about what I crave most, right at this minute...


So here is the last piece of a layered Ice Cream Birthday cake I made for my loved one. You have to spread the first layer (chocolate) freeze it solid, take it out to spread the next layer (vanilla) freeze it solid, take it out to spread the top layer (chocolate) and freeze it solid before you can start decorating. There was a checkerboard on top, which I made out of marzipan. The chess pieces on top are hand-made from marzipan. So you might say it is a true labor of love.

Now, hurry up and bring a spoon before it melts, honey!
