EXCERPT FROM THE ORIGINAL IVY BAKE SHOPPE COOKBOOK:

"These Ivy recipes stand the test of time. People often ask where we get all of our recipes. We are blessed to have great cooks in our families that readily share all of their secrets..... We have also been fortunate to have friends, and even customers, share great recipes with us. We acknowledge that all of these recipes are not ours, and we so appreciate people's generosity in sharing them. They are our favorites."

Although the Ivy Bake Shoppe cafes are permanently closed, you can still find me - blogging about food, my travels, new adventures and other interests. I also finally found time to finish writing the second Ivy Bake Shoppe cookbook! I hope you enjoy trying my favorite recipes on your own to share with friends and family.

Blessings - Martha
