Acknowledgments

I am grateful for the numerous friends and family who have encouraged me to write this book, and who stood by me as I finally got it published.

To Phil and Connie, two of my biggest supporters: I could not have done this without you.

Michele Dion is the best cookie decorator I know. She also does amazing cakes at her business, Gimme Some Sugar (http://mldion.wix.com/gimme-some-sugar).

Rob Conley, owner of Beanilla.com, thank you for making some of the best extracts ever!

Mark Mason, you pushed me and got me to the finish line. Thank you.
