It's an amazing day to bake, laugh and live


I haven't been posting very much lately as I've been spending all my time with the children over the past few months as we go through the process of a marital separation.

Life goes on, we are doing well considering the situation and focusing on a the amazing aspects of our life.

I have been baking but mostly comfort food: cookies, cinnamon rolls, banana raspberry muffins, making and decorating cupcakes with the kids.

I have plans to make macarons this week, some gingerbread cookies and maybe a Christmas cake, although you might remember in the past I am more for the anti-fruit cake variety.


These are images I took for the latest issue of 'Tickle the Imagination' magazine where I share 10 fabulous reasons to bake up some fun with your kids.

I also share a recipe for a healthier donut to make with the kids which is baked in a donut pan instead of fried and has a banana muffin base. It's a great alternative to all those super sized treats that are around at the moment.


Tickle the Imagination magazine is available online here and at selected newsagents and outlets.
