Blogging is something completely new to me, so bear with me! I've always enjoyed baking in my spare time. It was something that kept me busy and always seemed to calm me down. Friends and family seem to like what I make, and if I can get my hands on one of my creations before they are devoured, I do too!
I started to focus on cookies almost a year ago. It all began when one of my girlfriends had her first baby. On my way to visit her in the hospital I stopped at one of those corporate cookie shops (it will remain nameless, although I'm sure you already know which company I'm talking about!) to get a gift basket. I walked out with a bouquet of 4 hand-decorated cookies and a dozen assorted cookies. While my hands were full of beautiful cookies, my wallet was empty. That's when I thought to myself, "hey, I bet I could do this." Sure enough, I could.
Ok, so maybe I'm not as skilled with a piping bag as the professionals, but I'm practicing. I think that I get better with each batch. I've had family, friends, and coworkers request my cookies for special event in their lives, which has inspired me to continue practicing, and has also been the reason for starting this blog. I hope to remain inspired and to continue posting my stories and pictures for you all to enjoy!
P.S. I love to learn new tricks and techniques and I am grateful for constructive criticism, so feel free to comment on anything and everything.
