Hannah’s Easy & Scrumptious Scones Recipe
I've always wanted to be an awesome baker/cook and even contemplated culinary school. Over the years, I've pulled off some pretty neat things like the year I made a checkerboard birthday cake for our daughter. It was four layers high and turned out perfect!

(Because as it is, just last year we had a birthday cake catastrophe when my layer cake literally split faster than an earthquake could have made it!) But over Read more [...]
