"I'm currently in the process of brainstorming ideas for my birthday party and this app is handy in helping me conceptualize and organize my perfect Jamaica themed birthday cake."

What's neat about the app is that it allows you to upload pictures, take a picture or scan directly to the app. You can also use folders to organize different aspects of an event, space or object. With the pro feature you can say good-bye to guess work; you also don't need to be an expert at dimensions, the app will fill in the measurements and angles based on your uploads. For those who are measurement experts the app also integrates well with Lecia and bluetooth measuring devices.

Jamaican Spiced Mocha

My grandparents were coffee farmers and would grow coffee for sale to coffee processing plants; so it's no surprise that coffee would become a family favorite. Here's a Jamaican recipe to warm up the cold Fall/Winter mornings.

Serves 4

Ingredients 

 2 cups freshly brewed strong Blue Mountain Coffee (or any Jamaican coffee brew of your choice)
1 square Unsweetened Baking Chocolate, chopped
4-5 tbsp condensed milk
1-2 tbsp sugar (sweeten to taste)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 cup whip cream pinch of nutmeg
 *pinch of salt
* drop of peppermint essence or pumpkin spice
   for that holiday sensation

Method

1. Mix coffee and chocolate in heavy saucepan; cook on very low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring constantly with wire whisk. 
2. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg & salt. Bring to boil on medium heat; cook until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk and vanilla, stirring until well blended. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally. 
3. Pour into 4 large cups or mugs. Top with whipped cream. Garnish with a light sprinkling of additional cinnamon, nutmeg or chocolate, if desired.
