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.

Stuffing – all you need is STUFFING!:)
I’m not American, but Spanish (Ibiza); therefore, in my country it is not celebrated, but what is certain is that I am clearly fan of American culture so many times I’ve seen recipes for thanksgiving day; in my case if I had to pick one I would choose a PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE.

We have been telling the children (now in their 30’s) that we can tell it’s going to be a good year because the number of desserts outnumber the vegetables on the Thanksgiving table!
Thank you so much for your blog! It has been the source of inspiration for me for a long time! Keep it up!!

My favorite dish to eat on Thanksgiving definitely has to be my Dad’s delicious Cornbread Stuffing.
We were in our local supermarket and saw a recipe on one of the those small tv’s they have at the cash registers, and made it.
Since we didn’t write down the recipe word for word, we got the main idea and winged it. Let me tell you it was the best stuffing I’ve ever had! It had cornbread, crushed candied pecans, dried cranberries and crispy pork susage among other ingredients.
I remeber everyone on that Thanksgiving day in the Poconos, couldn’t stop eating it.
I love mashed potatoes and stuffing! :D

I love to eat pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. My mom taught me to make it a bit more custard-like by adding one more egg, more sugar to taste, and a bit of flour–plus a good bit of whipped cream on top.
I do love to bake pumpkin pie, but I also love baking Pecan pies(for others), Chocolate pies (for my son) and this year I am going to try a pumpkin cheesecake.
