{This recipe for Sweet and Salty Cake and comes from Baked in New York City. I used it recently for a dessert contest, and making the three layers, salted caramel and a chocolate ganache frosting took all day to put together. But it won me a first-place trophy and a whole bucket of personal pride. And winning is everything. (Sorry, kids, it’s true.)}
{These are probably the most sophisticated jello shots ever. Mojito jello complete with rum, lime, mint and sugar sets up inside a hollow lime half. Everyone loves a jello shot, and these are class-plus.}
{These glasses were a gift, and they’re perfect since I am a Walter White supporter through and through. No matter how evil he got, I still rooted for him.}
