Unable to find the perfect sorbet recipe, I made my own. This sweet, soft strawberry sorbet rivals any brand in the grocery store. Most homemade sorbets resemble an icy slushie, but this one is thickened before freezing, yielding a melt-in-your-mouth treat that will please even the pickiest sorbet lover. It's dually great because it can be made in an ice cream machine or your regular freezer.

Smash Cake
Smash cakes have become one of the latest raves for a toddler's birthday. The cake should be small enough for the child to sit behind it and have his/her picture taken while they "smash" and "devour" the cake.
