I've been on a cupcake thing lately. I mean, sure, I could do something useful with my time, but I'd much rather combine sugar and butter into delicious things that make Bob Harper cry. (Note: I actually do eat cupcakes while watching The Biggest Loser. Such a rebel). Anyway, this is my ...
Read More →One of my passions is baking. Not like the kind that causes skin cancer and chronic OompaLoompaism, but the kind that involves ovens and ingredients (primarily sugar) and causes diabetes.
