Saw this "viral" recipe by mymessykitchenn on Instagram and it turned out beyond expectations! The recipe was easy to follow and will be making them again🙌🏻

A smidge of chocolate i suppose.

Not only did Teleflora email the morning-of scheduled delivery to say that the arrangement was delayed and couldn't be delivered until two days later... But then the assigned floral shop didn't even get close to what I ordered, which was supposed to be a premium rose arrangement. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Sure, substitutions are allowed in a pinch, but this...? #TeleFloraFail #BirthdayFail

Love these things. Take a look at the last picture though. Here’s a little advice. If you plan on ordering these and your neighbors can see your mail/parcels, make sure you pick up your mail early. That box sat like for an entire weekend and now my neighbors know how cool I am.

(Note: I forgot the put the balsamic glaze on until it was cut)

They were still delicious.

My sister had a good experience with Price Chopper bakery in the past and so she ordered my nephew’s graduation cake from them as part of a bundle with cookies. She asked that they change the accent color to blue and put Cole’s name in the center along with the Class of 2026 and the grad cap.
She knew there were problems when the cake wasn’t ready when requested. When her older son finally picked up the cake, it only had his name. My sister and I ran to Dollar Tree to get something to put on the cake to indicate it was for his graduation. Behold, the cake of COLE.

Mom's funeral is today. The Florist sent pictures in advance. They warned that there would be substitutions due to flower supply chain problems. They were only getting partial shipments and gas prices are at a high level, so we were amply warned. We weren't sure if the irises, my mom's favorite, would make it in time. Difficulty: requested NO lilies due to severe allergies in attendees.
