Cake in a Cup: The Menu

Okay, this is odd, but because I’m about to post a ‘name a cupcake’ poll in the reader-run Facebook fan group (give me a couple of minutes, please) I needed a link to the list of Cake in a Cup cupcakes. But, apparently, I hadn’t posted a Cake in a Cup menu yet? Strange. Anyway, […]

An open letter to my editor.

SFG – To my ever patient, editor extraordinaire: I’m peeking out from my writing cave to ready you for what is coming next.

Little Pleasures personal reflection

A treatise on the nature of obsession and the justification of becoming obsessed. Also, homemade ice cream.
