January Cooking Classes

Happy New Year! A new year with new beginnings and already we are inundated with prices going up.  Well life goes on. No point delving into something we cannot control.

This month I’m doing a few more cooking classes rather then baking all because it is Chinese New Year.  So I hope to see everyone this month. And for those who dropped by and gave me wonderful Christmas goodies.. they were so nice no one had a chance to taste it THANK YOU.  It is always nice to receive gifts like that out of the blue.  And also when my cake tasted so much better when they baked it made it even more special.  So here goes..
