Inspiration

by |Published -Updated |1 comment
Recently, I was asked to make a dessert for a party and faced the age-old dilemma – How do I make something new but still accessible for the average diner?  I wanted something fun and provocative, but not so unsual that everyone’s afraid to try it.  As I searched for inspiration, a box of Jelly Bellies caught my attention.

The moral of the story?  Inspiration can come from anywhere so keep your eyes open!
