Tortes are no kid's cupcakes - they're classy. They're a big deal dessert! What if I botch it? But here's what I discovered: tortes aren't that hard to make. They're luscious and rich and delicious, but you can make them yourself at home! Who knew I could be that kind of decadent chef? Well, you can too.

For my day job as a graphic designer,  I work with a fantastic team of people. Most of us are local, but we also have a few members on the East Coast. While we are in contact with our long-distance friends regularly through email and conference calls, we also make a point to get together once a year for a team meeting here in the midwest. This gives us the opportunity to brainstorm together in person, strategize, and - most importantly - get to know one another better.
