Since Halloween I’ve had 2 little baking buddies dropping by on Saturday and Sunday mornings.  A black cat and her identical kitten. Yes, I’ve taken the fateful step of naming them: Kitty Lickins and Cutie Lickins.

My true love, John, is extremely allergic to my new baking buddies so they must stay outside on the deck. This doesn’t keep them from showing up every time I bake something early in the morning…The Lickins family definitely has a sweet tooth!
