I am a candyholic. One piece of candy is too much. Two pounds at one sitting? Not nearly enough. It is somewhat ironic then that CapeMay.com’s offices should be above The Original Fudge Kitchen on the Washington Street Mall where I am faced with temptation every morning as the lovely sweet aroma of chocolate fudge… Read more »
The mercury has at last dipped below freezing and winter has made its inevitable return to the Jersey Cape. Freezing weather means it is better to be indoors than out and on a cold winters day the best room in the house is the kitchen (poetry aside it is the best room in the house… Read more »
As 2006 ends and we welcome in 2007, it is time to reflect on the past as we embrace the future. I had such an opportunity this past fall when I was asked to help coach the Hot Foods Culinary Team for the annual Culinary Salon in New York City. The Hot Foods team was… Read more »

We celebrate the abundance we have been given by stuffing food inside other food then we stuff… Read more »
Cindy & Michael asked to have our Love Cape May heart embroidered on beach chairs for their wedding (a talented embroiderer took care of that), and we ended up invited to the ceremony! On the beach next to the Cove pavilion, they set up the custom beach chairs for each guest, who entered to string music.… Read more »
When you walk into Susan Ross’ West Cape May studio, there are bins and bins of tiles in all sorts of shapes and colors. Starfish tiles, Sand-colored tiles, round sky-blues tiles, round ocean-blue tiles, and oblong earth-toned tiles with people of all ages and backgrounds holding hands and dancing. This latter happens to be the… Read more »
I’ve been looking for ghosts every fall now for, I’d say about four years. I’ve taken walking tours, trolley tours. I’ve followed ghost writer Craig McManus around when he was looking for ghosts. I invited Craig to our offices last year in search of the ghosts I’ve heard about for so long. I even stayed… Read more »
