This year was the TENTH Champagne & Cookies Party! I can’t believe I’ve been hosting this celebration since 2010! In a special twist this year, I relinquished cookie selection to five of my friends who’ve been around since the very first C&C. I asked them to choose their favourite treat from parties past, I picked......
Well, we’ve graduated from Minecraft Cakes to Fortnite Cakes over here. It was my nephew’s 10th birthday on Easter Sunday, so our festive holiday dessert was a V Bucks Birthday Cake. I don’t know anything about Fortnite (except randomly that there are celebratory dances in it?!) but my brother and nephew explained that V Bucks......
This year was the biggest Champagne & Cookies yet!

Last Saturday was my friend Alexis’ daughter’s 1st birthday, and I was in charge of the treats! I was super jazzed for this project, and I loved it because Alexis provided very specific guidance on what she wanted. (Sometimes it can be frustrating when people say – just make whatever you want. If a baker......
A few weeks ago I hosted my 2nd annual Champagne & Cookies Christmas Party! Nothing like a little hi-brow/lo-brow mixer to kick off the holidays! Just like last year, I spent the month of December in a cookie tizzy, with a list of 28 recipes I wanted to make. After some soul-searching and a serious conference......
