About me

Gender Female
Occupation Social Worker
Location Chicago, Illinois, United States
Introduction I graduated from college and am now paying for my sins. ...also known as paying off my student loans. Monday through Friday, I play the role of a social worker. My weekends are up for grabs. They usually involve friends, entertainment and sleep. I have no formal baking/cooking experience. The baking itself will be my "teacher" and my blog will just kind of keep track of things... Really, I just wanted a hobby. So far, I really like baking. My goal is to get better at it, to experiment with weird flavors/ingredients, and to some day make up my own recipes.
