I was one lucky kid. I grew up with a grandmother who was a darn good baker and gifted with a cake decorating tip. From year to year, whatever I was into, Strawberry Shortcake or Wonder Woman, my grandmother brought it to life on cake. For my first birthday, she made a baby lamb —

Eat Boutique contributor Jessica Merrill is like a member of the family, literally. She just happened to marry my cousin and it was pretty much true love. With me, of course!

Have you noticed the weather suddenly turning brisk? And in the evenings, the darkness descending earlier and earlier? There’s no denying that autumn has arrived — even for those of us who are lazy about packing away our flip flops. Just as quickly as the weather changed so has my appetite.
