Sorry it’s been a while since my last blog. I’ve been busy helping my mom with her latest endeavor. As many of you know, my mom - Buttercup Pickles - is a world-famous chef. Well, she just opened up a new bakery in Lincoln Park; it’s called Delish Surprise. She claims that people love surprise parties, so whenever a new customer enters the bakery, she yells “Surprise!” and throws a handful of confetti in their face. I think that gimmick will last about 2 weeks.

Regardless, this bakery is her opportunity to showcase some of her favorite dessert recipes. She’s got lemon squares, raisin somethings, fudge explosions and the best Turkish Delite this side of Narnia.
And, much to my chagrin, she’s created a Mr. Pickles cookie. See below. Tasty? Of course. Insane? Definitely.
