Whoopie!

Dark chocolate cake.....marshmallow buttercream filling.....a recipe for success, and I'm donating a basketfull of Whoopie Pies to the anniversary/fundraiser being held tomorrow at HD Sports in Toms River. Folks are being urged to bring in their used sports equipment, non-perishable food, clothing, among other listed items, and they will be donated to Ocean's Harbor House, a safe haven for abused and abandoned children. The link for this event:http://www.njhitdogs.com/

Why "Drew's" Whoopie Pies? Because Joanne and Jack's son, Drew loves them. So, he got bragging rights. I only hope the basket makes it to the public......

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.
