After a bit of a break, I finally got licensed in Utah!
I made these cookies for my friends Bricks and Minifigs Grand Opening in St George. I’m super proud of them!! They broke the record for the most people attending a Grand Opening at over 1600! That’s incredible.

Peanut brittle part two! Worth the wait 😊
This is a soft crunch peanut brittle that doesn’t stick to your teeth or threaten your fillings. It’s kind of the texture of a butterfinger but more airy. It’s our favorite non chocolate treat, but is also really really good dipped in chocolate!!!
The secret is melted peanut butter that is stirred into the hot peanut brittle mixture with a little extra baking soda. I adapted the recipe a little from who made it based on a treat from the in Spokane, WA. Comment “soft crunch peanut brittle” if you want my version. ♥️

Long post warning!

I will forever love and the opportunity they give bakers to provide cakes for kids in foster care and underprivileged situations. This one went out a few days ago and I remembered that delivery is much more complicated in San Francisco than it was in Walnut Creek. We don’t have a cake4kids chapter in Nevada so I can’t do it when I’m there.
I drove around the block several times, looking for parking, and there was nothing available. After 30 minutes I finally went to a nearby gas station and asked the manager if I could park there for a few minutes while I ran the cake into the agency. Thankfully he said yes and I was able to deliver. What a nice guy!! But I realized that I need to plan ahead in the future. Maybe I need a buddy to sit in my car next time! Any volunteers?
🍓The young lady who requested this cake asked for strawberry so I used 64 ounces of fresh strawberries to make a reduction for the cake and the frosting for a super fresh flavor. Thanks to for a fantastic recipe!
