I love to BAKE!!!

I really enjoy baking. However, there are two downsides to this hobby of mine. First, as a student I should be spending the majority of my time studying and working on assignments. Those of you who know me well, know that I am very good at avoiding these activities until pretty much the night before....oops! In order to avoid school work, I sometimes bake. The second downside to my hobby is that I also enjoy eating sweets...a little too much. And unfortunately for me, Bryan has A LOT more self-control in this department, especially considering her would rather eat a bag of chips than delicious brownies, cookies, cupcakes, etc. So the result of this unfortunate situation is that I somehow convince myself that it is appropriate to eat Bryan's share as well!! :S

Anyways along with my hobby of baking, I also like to decorate. I started with decorating cakes and have made a few for family birthdays. More recently I have jumped onto the cupcake bandwagon and have started making cupcakes more often...I haven't quite worked up the courage yet to really start experimenting like the wonderful bakers I often watch battle it out on one of my fave shows Cupcake Wars, but perhaps I'll get there eventually (not on the show, just in my own kitchen of course).

So here are some of the cake creations I have made over the past few years and I hope to make many more in the years to come!
