My Story
I began baking at the age of seven when my mom gave me a cookbook for Christmas, and it's been a passion of mine ever since, nevermind that my first cake was made with salt instead of sugar. I've learned a lot since then, for example, how to tell the difference between salt and sugar, and feel as though there is still so much out there to learn.
What I keep as a constant, though, is that everything I do is made from scratch. Eggs, flour, butter, sugar, cocoa. These are the staples in my kitchen, and as far as it is possible, they are organic and the best quality, because they always produce the best tasting treats.
While I love something that is beautiful, fanciful, playful, or just funky and fun, if it doesn't measure up in the taste category, it just isn't worth the effort to make or the calories to eat. Maybe that's as a result of having had a cake with salt once, but I feel that taste is everything. Taste...and see!
