I LOVE to bake!!!

So...I love to bake...a lot...

I think I inherited a lot more from my mom than I originally thought.  Growing up I always watched her in the kitchen and thought, "Well that looks fun!  But waaaay too time consuming!"  Then I started baking...not cooking...and didn't have great success but I thought it was fun anyway.  Then I started cooking.  I had more success with this because I was actually growing up and not 6 anymore.  I thought it was fun, but I spent all that time cooking and then watched it be consumed within 5 minutes and then it was over.  Not my idea of a great time. 

Now that I'm an adult and having to cook and bake for my own family, it's definately grown on me.  I still think cooking is a blast for only a few minutes of satisfaction.  But I love it and there might be some posts about that on here.  But baking, now that's a completely different story.  I've definately gotten A LOT better than when I was 6...just so you know.  And baking has kind of become my passion lately.  All day I dream about the cupcakes and cakes and pies and cookies and treats I can make.  And how I can decorate them just so for different occasions.  So I thought that instead of making all these fantastic things and having them scarfed by only Aaron and myself, I would take a couple pictures of the successes...or failures...and put them up on here.  That way I can remember what worked and what turned out beautifully so that I can do them again!  I'll also put up the recipes so that if any of them look good to anyone else, they'll be here to share.  I just wish I had more time to devote to this.  Oh well, I get it in when I can.

I'm excited...
