Greg’s company had a Halloween party yesterday, and we needed an easy dessert to compensate for all the time recently spent on our Halloween costumes (coming soon!). It also needed to be particularly delicious because after winning a few prizes in his company’s summer bake-off, Greg has a reputation to maintain! We turned to our …
