A New Adventure!

I’ve worked in restaurants for close to a decade and in that time I realized something. Food makes people happy. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I enjoy baking so much, is seeing the happiness a perfectly baked treat can bring to someone's face or brighten someone's day. For the past few months, I’ve been writing on a private blog about a variety of subjects, a new job, the stress of moving, daily struggles etc. mainly for my own benefit and so I don’t go crazy just talking to my dog. Baking has always been a stress reliever for me and in a way, my blog was a way to measure my progress from when I first started cooking for myself every night to where I am now. Despite my blog being private, I am constantly uploading pictures to Facebook & Instagram of what I’m up to in the kitchen. Recently, a friend of mine suggested that instead of posting pictures of all the food she was too far away to eat, I write everything down so that my concoctions could be whipped up in her own kitchen as well. I decided to take her advice and while it’s been awhile since I’ve written anything for anyone to read, I’m excited to share one of my favorite pastimes with you. Cupcakes are my specialty, as any of my prior co-workers can attest to, but I’m always willing to try new recipes or create something delicious with only what I have left in my kitchen. With that being said, I hope you find something that you like here and want to try making yourself. Baking is a science, and experimentation is the key to success!
