Some days you just feel like your body can’t continue to hold and support all the day’s worries, late lunches, mistakes, and over-all fatigue. All you really want to do after work is curl up on the couch and watch re-runs of Family Guy. A few days ago at work, I volunteered to bake brownies [...]

Lemon Squares
December 4, 2009
Several weeks ago, after embarking on the ludicrous writing adventure, I found myself stuck. Writer’s block. So what did I do? I baked. I procrastinate by baking.

Halloween
November 5, 2009

October 12, 2009

Perfect Party Cake
September 21, 2009
I believe it was over a year ago that my friend sent me a link to this Perfect Party Cake (recipe here from Tartelette). Since then I had been looking for an excuse to make the cake but I could never seem to get around to making it. The recipe is originally from Baking From [...]
