A is home sick with the stomach flu this week. Poor girl. I haven't gone out in 3 days (except to the doctor's office) . By the time E gets home I'm too tired to do anything.

My little sister turned 30 a couple of weeks. She was out of town on a business trip on her actual birthday so we had a late celebration.  I wanted to make this salted caramel ding dong cake ever since I saw it in Bon Appetit.

I only used the cake batter recipe from the magazine. (here is link to the whole recipe ).  I used a shortcut for the filling...marshmallow fluff in a  jar :) For the ganache, I used my own recipe.

The cake was really moist.

This week in our house

 Trips to the library with the girls.  I picked up these two books Kimchi Chronicles and As Always, Julia. 

Finally got my haircut, it's almost been a year since my last one.

 We made some stops on the way home.

Yum!

We had a birthday party for Purple (A's build a bear)

I made a Funfetti Cake. So so good!

We got our Christmas tree
