Welcome to Cookbooks and Cakestands! A celebration of my two loves, recipes and party planning with a lot of craft projects mixed in between. My real passion in the kitchen is baking, but I also love creating and trying new recipes of all kinds. Almost every Saturday morning you can find me with a giant iced coffee wandering the aisles of Hobby Lobby looking for my latest crafting inspiration. I love mixing patterns, things that sparkle and making everyday moments extra special.
The two most important people in my life call me Aunt Amanda. On any other day, from the hours of 7-3 I'm known as Ms. Vaughn, the family consumer science teacher. For those of you who are old school, family consumer science is what we used to call home economics. If you were to ask five year old Amanda what she would be when she grows up, without a doubt the answer would be a teacher. It wasn't until college that I realized family consumer science was what I was destined to teach.
I've now been teaching for over a decade and love it just as much as I did 25 years ago. Many of my posts on here will be in relation to my classroom activities. I hope you enjoy some of our adventures and maybe learn a few things in the process! Thanks for stopping by Cookbooks and Cakestands!
