A food blog! Like everyone else...

I'm not one for words, but it has come to my attention that I should be jumping this bandwagon. I am going to try to post, at least consistently. Just a little bit about myself, I LOVE baking :) I found that out my freshman year of college. It didn't really hit me until about the 5th cousin get together us cousins had. We held them monthly and I had at least made a cake each time. I started by just baking the typical cake box cakes with store bought frosting. Okay okay, I did bake a cake from scratch once before my freshman year. It was for a boy. It was the Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate cake with its "Perfectly Chocolate" frosting. That's when my eyes were opened to how unhealthy frosting was! Don't get me wrong, the cake and frosting were really good! The frosting looked so professional, especially after being refrigerated. I just never knew frosting in all its "nudity". Anyhow, after all those cakes I baked freshman year, it dawned on me how much I loved to bake. I had a gluten-free roommate and so I found a flour-less chocolate cake that I had made for her. As years went on, I progressively branched out. I was exploring and re-inventing recipes, whether it was just to change it up or to healthify it. So, just before I leave this introduction post, you might be wondering when I find time to bake (seeing that I've been baking as a student)? When I'm stressed! When I have work to do but am too stressed just at the thought of it, I turn to baking.
