Happiness is to Hold Flowers in Both Hands

But also cake in both hands + other recipes to transition to spring.

Hi Bakers!

The green shoots that broke through the earth in early February are currently covered in snow. My daughter and I planted tulip bulbs in the fall, hoping the colorful petals would soon dot our yard. Instead, the baby and I spent the first week of March in our buffalo plaid flannel, pattering around the house away from the cold.

But with this late season snow comes more opportunities to ski! Last month, I came out of my 14-year retirement to ski with my brother and the kids. It was glorious! I only had to keep up with an 8 and 4 year old, but these old bones still remember the swish, swish of the powder down the slopes. We finished with fireside s’mores and warm Chocolate Self-Saucing Cake.
