If I had a dollar for every embarrassing/humbling moment in my life, I’d be a millionaire! These are my real-life stories about a few of my memorable epic fails with cake. One of the main reasons why I’m smiling and…

lemon meringue pie
My daughter and I were excited to make lemon meringue pie for our family visit last weekend. Her Uncle Mark (my brother) loves all things lemon, and this classic favorite is one of the best ways to enjoy such a bright and delicious natural flavor. Here I share how I pull my recipes to make Lemon Meringue Pie happen, for a delightful heap of fluffy, torched vanilla meringue, topping from-scratch lemon curd pie filling.
