Lots of activity around my studio and house lately, so I got a little bogged down on my painting (and posting!) schedule.  Had some cabinets fixed in my kitchen and some lighting fixed (finally -- no more holes and dangling electrical wires!).  Had to spend an entire day emptying out the back room of my studio so the carpenters can get in next week to build some storage shelves for my still life props.  By the end of that task, I was so dusty, I had to take all my clothes off and throw into the washer -- even my down coat!  Thank goodness I'd had the wisdom to put on a dust mask.  Never a dull moment around here, even in winter!

Toffee Caramel Crunch: chocolate cake stuffed with buttercream, caramel and toffee topped with chocolate ganache and finished with buttercream, caramel drizzle and sprinkled with toffee. 

The most fun part?  Painting the caramel "drizzles".  My favorite view?  The last one.  This angle always reminds me of a fully-opened rose.
