| STUFF i LIKE |
Aw, man, where do I begin? I like movies, I like to cook and to feed people. I love to explore new
techniques. I love culture. Reading, when I have a few spare moments. Travel!
Ok, so I think I will start with food.

Ok, so I think I will start with food.
For awhile I was toying with the idea of making cakes as a side
gig. I enjoy doing the crazy, colorful, artistic stuff like they
do at the Whimsical Bakehouse, but I also like the crazy stuff
that Colette Peters and Eliza Strauss do with sugar. I once
made a cake for my husband with chocolate ninjas doing
battle all over it- it was complete with those star things that
they throw at each other, but made from chocolate. The
Australians are CRAZY, the stuff they do with sugar! And
fabric. But I digress. I will kick this thing off with a Banana
Bread recipe that I stumbled across on a website called Sonya
Style a year or so ago that has got to be the best Banana Bread
that I have evah eaten in my entire life.
