Sweets.

I used to buy Betty Crocker brownie mix and feel extreme satisfaction when pulling them out of the oven and realizing they weren't over-baked, stuck to the baking dish, and they actually tasted pretty good. Shamefully, I thought I was an awesome baker then and decided since my baking mix skills were so advanced, I needed to start doing bigger and better things in the kitchen. 

I started baking cupcakes about a 8 months ago. I baked cupcakes almost three times a week. At one point we had so many cupcakes in our house that (I hate to admit this) I had to throw some of them out because clearly, we were overdosing on sugar and allowed ourselves to have dessert....after every meal. It was disastrous for me and my hips, not kidding. Anyway, baking was like the equivalent of reading a book to me. I delve into my own little "baking" world, no matter what is going on around me, and try to create something new every time. 

When I first started I couldn't frost a cupcake for the life of me but now my favorite part of baking is decorating the cupcakes in different ways. I have so much fun baking and making cupcakes that I started to make them for family and friends. With all of the great feedback and with my own goals in mind; after some consideration and planning, I decided to start my own small cupcake business. YAY : )
