Getting back in the routine… back in the studio, back to teaching, and back to “trying” to eat a little bit healthier. So unfortunately, I’ve had to replace the cheesecakes with avocados this week!!! HA!!!

Looks like there’s ALWAYS room for cake!!! Diane is once again showing off some of her pottery collection with a large purple stamped platter… and a beautiful vanilla bean cake!

I kinda just want to run my fingers through that frosting!!!

Cozy, warm & savory… baked Delicata Squash on a stamped plate. Handmade & homemade… always a great dinner combo!

Nothing rings in the New Year like a chocolate layer cake… especially when it’s a carrot cake filled with raspberry preserves. So it has both vegetables AND fruit in it… making it a “healthy” way to start the New Year!!!

Another holiday get-together… and another opportunity for another cheesecake! You know I love making them, decorating them & sharing them… oh yeah, and eating them!!! Happy Holidays!!!

A little post-Christmas get-together with friends… a large platter of cookies, a couple hours, a couple games, a lot of laughs… and whoops, the cookies are almost gone! … burp.

Homemade chocolate cheesecake on a handmade stamped platter. Nothing better than sharing treats from the oven… on top of treats from the kiln! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Making pretty… more is more... getting ready for a little family fun this afternoon! Chocolate makes every Christmas better!!!

Gotta love when a pottery student leaves a sweet chocolate treat in your teacher’s shelf for you… an AMAZING chocolate & peppermint holiday cookie from Levain Bakery. And since I “always” follow directions (ha)… I did zap it in the microwave first so it got all gooey, melt & yummy. Even the smell was intoxicating!

Sure, not the proverbial apple on the teacher’s desk… but this is SO much better!!! Thanks for the yummy holiday treat Christine!

The large purple platter has been so popular at my art fairs this summer… and I typically only had one per show! Well, this time… I HAVE TWO AUBERGINE PLATTERS for this weekend’s Mud & Metal Holiday Home Show!!! Yes, two… count them TWO!!!
