I would certainly any book written in such a way. A joy to read, and with useful tips besides. Those brownie hearts are gorgeous. I aspire to do work like that (got a long way to go...).

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:23:37 +0000 http://simmertilldone.com/?p=2512#comment-4490 Brava!! I love this post! OK...love the heated spatula trick. I will definitely give it a whirl the next time I frost a carrot cake (I usually sprinkle on some chopped walnuts to cover up my many frosting inperfections). The only thing on the list I don't have is the turntable cake stand and it's definitely on my list (should have remembered that for Santa. Damn! Am I even allowed to say, "damn" when talking about Santa?). And...I would sooooooooooo buy your <i>Oh La La</i> book...in a heartbeat...though I'm almost thinking your book title should be, "Baking Adventures: Catching Destiny Speeding Off with the Girl Who Puts Out." HAHAHAHA! ;-) I'd volunteer to be your publicist for the book tour, in fact. Brava!! I love this post!

I make thousands of cookies at Christmas time and use it for most recipes. I also re-use each sheet maybe four times, sometimes more, I just wipe off the crumbs with a paper towel.

Also, if you go with the resturant supply route, I believe there is a place around 18th and Main that used to sell that sort of thing. Been a while since I've been in that neck of the woods but I used to see storefront signage on my old drive home Nella,
