Hi Laura...I found you through snooping and my love of food too. I can't help but giggle at the name of these treats, Ginger BaLLs..will have to try them.

Answer: I stole it from Anthropologie's site. It fit perfectly. You can go to websites that have some made up to fit in your header...but they're usually pretty jLo fabulous. Someone who knows graphic design could probably help you out more.
