Not everyone has talented friends who make the best baked goods in Alaska, but we do — and we certainly feel pretty lucky. Monica Chase lives in Seward, Alaska and we have the distinct pleasure of getting to frequently try the excellent cakes, caramels, and other creative concoctions she cooks up. You can try them too, by ordering some of her mouthwatering caramels — trust us, they really are the best. Her business, The Moon Muse, specializes in custom cakes and caramels. Planning a special event? She can bake a cake and make it look like anything you want. She is incredibly creative in the kitchen and all her creations are absolutely mouthwatering.
This year, despite having a broken wrist, she has managed to cook us up some incredible Seven Layer Bars, Smores Bars, and Lemon Bars. We can’t believe how fortunate we are! In 2013, Monica was kind enough to cook up some of her Seven Layer Bars for Travis but only a few actually made it to the trail.
“They’re too good!” Travis would say sheepishly whenever I told him to save them. “I can’t help myself!”
And you really can’t! Monica really has perfected the art of baking.
