    I am so confused. What is happening? Is she giving you a recipe for the real thing and then demonstrating it in miniature. How the hell do you get tiny egg yolks?

      She has several videos of things made in her miniature kitchen – but she always gives you the details for making the full size version.

    I made a full size lemon meringue pie last night with my 9 and 5 yr old daughters. First time meringue maker here and it was delish!! Pastry in particular was fab. I’ve never had a good time with pastry so a huge thanks from me on that front.

    Hi Ann! I made your caramel and Oreo truffles as gifts for my friends and uncle. Instead of coffee caramel made ‘masala chai’ or indian tea flavoured caramel. The gifts were a total hit!! Thank you 💕💕
