The Professor and I moved to Cape Cod amidst the pandemic and protests in New York City. Being home, and in my favorite place in the world was made a little sweeter, by getting to see my niece and nephew daily. Due to travel, and work, and pandemic, we hadn't seen my Gremmies since Valentine's Day! One thing we LOVE to do together is bake. So we got together and baked ourselves the most joyous and delicious cake!
