Baking allows me to combine my love for food (sweets, in particular) with my need for a creative outlet. After all, half the fun is in the decorating!

I am perfectly honest about everything I make. If I burn it, you’ll know. Too dry? I’ll tell you that too. Consider me your test kitchen.

I am quite possibly the messiest cook on the planet and sometimes, I use cake mix. On that note, I must confess that boxed yellow cake with chocolate icing from the plastic jar will always rank in my top 5 favorite desserts.
