I love, love, love to bake and have been struggling to find my passion for some time now, considering I am good at many things.
I have been baking since the early age of 12. I really lose track of time when I am baking, it brings me such joy. I love experimenting with different flavors.
I am baking from my home at the moment, but in due time I will take the plunge and open a store. So, for this moment in time I will continue to sell and bake out of my home.
Journey with me as I share and blog about some of my best sellers.
This delicious cupcake reminds me of the wonderful memories of my moms key lime pie, which she would only make during the summer.
Now you can enjoy that wonderful taste in these little cakes-n-a-cup.
