Happy Birthday, Melissa

Dark Chocolate Cake with a thin raspberry glaze....topped with Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache.

Happy 21st....goes great with a martini. But what doesn't? Cheers, kiddo.

Welcome to Pam's Sweet Tooth

I've been baking for most of my life. My earliest memories are of my mother and me in the family kitchen, where mom taught me everything that she learned through necessity and a generation that was so different from today's fast-food living. Coming from an Italian family, food was more about the experience of sharing love for family and friends.....and the aromas of delicious meals filled the house daily. Everything was homemade, and mom's desserts were always given such attention to detail, but more than that: the love and patience that went into everything she prepared was apparent in appearance and taste. The aluminum cake dome that concealed her wonderful cakes is still in my own kitchen. Oh, the delicious memories! I'll be sharing recipes, memories, links to interesting sites, and perhaps just un-related rantings that might peak (whipped cream humor) my fancy for the day. Welcome.
