About Me:
A wife and mother. And a poet. I got my chef certification at age 20. I have spent time as a stage hand, working on such things as Cirque Du Soleil. I also spent time as a biomedical tech.

After having children I was able to focus on who I am and where I really want to be --- and that was back in the culinary field. Now I am a student who is close to completing a degree in Professional Baking & Pastry Arts Management. I have many interests, including photography and enjoy sharing my love of food and use of creative writing. I hope to start my own baking business in the future.

What makes you different from other bloggers?
I blog about the chemistry of baking, about the emotional attachment to food, I use analagies to describe the culinary experience --- such as "I liken Yeast to the popular and oh-so-old skool group ,The Beastie Boys. Both groups - whether rockin' the mike or the mixer, if given the best environment, will rock hard...and go on and on and on, improving on flavor. They both are fueled on additives and are a product of alcohol, whether that means straight drunk or chemically.....they get ill"

Usually the biggest names in the blogosphere are the only blogs you see as the top ten finalists for each category - but this year I was initially nominated and accepted for a special "under appreciated blog" category for smaller blogs. I made a long list of… Continue
