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 didn’t really grow up eating american thanksgiving. My mother is from India, so my memories of the holiday as a child are filled with curry & rice. However, I love thanksgiving food.

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is my 14 year old brothers “Crockpot Mac and Cheese.” I know it’s not your typical Thanksgiving dish but we moved to the south last year and he heard that his friends family serves Mac and cheese for Thanksgiving dinner. To say he was excited about this news was an understatement, Mac and Cheese is his favorite food! So he researched a recipe, went shopping for the ingredients, and cooked it all by himself. He was so happy and pleased with how it can out he was asking everyone if they wanted seconds the whole night :) Thanksgiving is all about family and this Mac and Cheese dish oozes that! I love it
