The Beginning

My baking career began at the age of 3 when I received a "Kitchen Set" for Christmas. 


Best Christmas Present Ever, Thank You Mom & Dad!


As you can see, I didn't waste any time and began making cupcakes right from the start. I always enjoyed helping my Mom bake, especially when it came time to make Christmas cookies (nut horns, nut roll, thumb prints, sugar cookies, buckeyes, snow balls, black bottom cakes etc.)! It feels good knowing that you may have made someone else's day with something as simple as a cookie. 


Now that I am on my own, I thought it would be nice to have an easy way to share recipes that I come across with my Mom, friends, and whoever else is interested.  We have never believed in keeping recipes a secret because if it's that good then why not let others enjoy it? So this is the purpose of my blog, along with sharing pictures of my latest baking masterpieces. Enjoy!

  1. Heather,

    Hi, it's Barb Bastianini.

    This is amazing, I'm so glad your Mom sent it to me!

    The picture of you as a little girl brought back so many memories. I know that kitchen set as well as I know the one my girls had. Your Mom and I spent hours and hours playing with you guys at both toy kitchens. I'm glad to see that more than good memories came out of that time.

    Those pretend cupcakes were great, but your cakes look a lot better. Good job!

  2. Hi Barb, it was nice to hear from you!

    I remember the girls' kitchen set, too. That seems like so long ago but I know we had a great time.

    Thank you for visiting the site and I'm glad you like it! Tell everyone I said "Hi!"
