Well, hello there!

Hey y'all, as the description states, I live in one of the "foodie-ist" cities in the PNW-- Portland. We have food carts, restaurants and food snobs all over the place. I cook 3 meals a day for my family, occasionally we enjoy a night on the town, which you will be able to read about because I'll give you the low-down. I love food crafts, playing with my food, cooking for my family and baking. I love to cook home style food and my baking specialty is none other than cupcakes.

I am a baker by trade; I have a degree in professional baking and cake decorating and I will share lots of advise with you on the subject. I grew up in Portland where my grandfather owned Gerry's Gables in Sellwood (the trendy, fancy area of Portland) and my grandma had a cafe in Gresham. And in general, I love, Love, LOVE food.

I have millions of recipes in my head that I can't hold in there forever! I will post craft projects, ways for playing with your food, tutorials, reviews, recipes and food facts that you may never have wanted to know. Overall, this blog is a great way to have fun with food and all the things you can do with it.
