Desserts and Cooking and Yum...Oh My!

Anyone who knows me, knows I love to cook- it is my creative outlet! I ran across From Ida's Kitchen, a blog which expresses Ida's true passion for cooking and International Recipes. This blog has some inspiration for creations that a professional chef might make, with instructions that even a home cook can follow.

I was especially fond of Ida's posting on How To Cover Cake With Fondant. I've watched Ace of Cakes on Food Network, and have always wanted to go beyond regular frosting in decorating cakes, but have never ventured out to try. There are so many things you can do with fondant that you just can't do with regular icing! Maybe I just might try a fondant covered cake on our family's next birthday! (You're sure to see pictures of that if I get up the nerve!)

Ida says she's not a professional chef but loves to cook like one, and with the yummy pictures and recipes on her blog, I believe she is! I'm looking forward to seeing her post more International Recipes, as this is a whole new world of exciting new flavors to try! Check out her blog sometime soon!
