I had the most wonderful, incredible, emotional and unforgettable few days at the first-ever international cake pop conference in Philadelphia this weekend hosted by KCBakes. I was the keynote speaker and shared my story of creating cake pops back in 2008. It was the most humbling experience talking to so many people whose lives have been touched by cake pops. From simply inspiring creativity in the kitchen to completely changing the way people make a living through home businesses and large scale bakeries, pop products, boxes, books and more – Cake Pops are so much more than just a little ball of cake on a stick.
Here are some of my pics from the weekend – view them individually on Facebook.
Now … since I was away from the kitchen this past weekend, I didn’t have a chance to bake anything fun for you today. So I thought I’d continue the cake pop love and give away something here on the blog that I also gave away at the conference.

I love eating the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sandwich after everyone’s gone home. Mmmm good!
I absolutely love my mom’s stuffing. It’s amazing.
Mashed potatoes!!!
One of the memories I have of my late grandfather is of the corned beef and cabbage he used to make. About five years ago I had my grandmother over for Thanksgiving. I made corned beef and cabbage in his honor. It became a tradition I did for her after that. I know it’s not your traditional Thanksgiving dish, but it’s my favorite :)
At this point, I would kill for any of my family’s traditional setup; not that I haven’t had great turkey, or stuffing, or mashed potatoes elsewhere, but it’s nothing quite like my parents’ (however, I have never had anything quite like the cranberry ginger relish my mom makes). Too bad they’re 2,000 miles away and I can’t possibly make the trip this year … T

Every year Imake a cazuela pie from “In the Sweet Kitchen” by Regan Daley. It is a pumpkin, sweet potato pie made with coconut milk and it is amazing! It is the perfect twist on the traditional pumpkin pie. A bit more effort to make but sooooo worth it!

Cornbread dressing. My mom made it the best, but she doesn’t cook any more. Mine comes close.

Has to be stuffing! My mom makes a very plain stuffing (no oysters/chestnuts/sausage/sage) that I could eat every day. She bakes it in the turkey and it comes out in a little round loaf. The crispy end is the best! 2nd favorite : corn pudding, which I make and which took me 10 years to find the proper recipe.

Oh, as a mom of 5 and grandma of 7 there is so much to make it’s crazy! I would say the twice baked potato casserole or home made tamales. Wait, it’s dessert! Now that I am thinking of it, it’s probably the stuffing…no, It’s anything and everything as long as we all are together.
Left over turkey. Yum! Yum!
