In the Kitchen

One of my favorite things about cooking something big is when I put on an apron. My aprons were all sewn by my great, great grandmother. I love the history and feeling of interconnectedness of wearing her things.

Today I have found a new recipe for marshmallow fondant, will be making some of that and gumpaste. My little girl will be 9 this week and I have promised her a Pippi Longstocking cake.

Here are a couple of sites that helped me a lot in this quest:

And here is a picture of the cake that  is acting as my inspiration:

I will share more as the journey progresses!
