Jack's 50th


Jacks Birthday cake...Jack is a big big fan of Buddy,,aka Cake Boss...I really really tried to come up with a Buddy cake..but I was requested to make a cassata cake...which as you can see was done...we were at dinner not that long ago and were trying to get out of Jack what would be his ideal Buddy cake...and Jack being a huge fan of A Christmas Story.. chose to have his ideal BUDDY cake be that of him decorating a christmas tree with lights..well as you can see I tried to get the lights to get at least part of his dream cake...I know it tasted really good..as they all said...funny twist to this was ..when Aunt Franci walked in she said OHH you got the cake from Patsy's ??? which was such a huge compliment to me..Patsy's is one of the best italian bakery on Long Island !!!! so I guess I passed the test..it wasnt A Buddy Valastro masterpiece..but I'm the only CAKE BOSS YOU ALL HAVE !!!!

Ricotta Cookies

I have been trying to perfect the ricotta cookie recipe for a while now..they are either to soft, or to hard or too flat or too wet or too dry..but believe it or not last month in I think It was a Family Cirlce or Womans Day magazine I go the recipe and made them and they were pretty good...actually really very good..but I of course had to mess with it..they were a wee bit dry for my taste so I increased the ricotta by a half cup and I think that they came out just about perfect..next time gonna do something different with the icing..maybe thinner and not as white..more like a glaze..but they were delish anyway...everytime it snows and god knows we have had our share ..I bake and bake..there is nothing more comforting than the snow falling while the fire is burning and the smell of cookies in the oven filling the house...warms the heart and soothes the soul !!!!!
