Hello! I am a stay at home mom to three children and a certified elementary school teacher. I dream of madeleines and macarons created in my home kitchen. I love to challenge myself to create new confections. I’m not a culinary expert but I’m inspired by many who are like Dorie Greenspan, Sarabeth Levine, Sherry Yard, and Martha Stewart. What you’ll find here are weekly posts of my attempts to teach myself the finer points of baking while enjoying every sweet bite along the way. I’m so glad you stopped by!

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for the like on my tart post. It’s nice to see that though my blog is tiny people do see it! especially seeing what a fan of tarts you are. You have a lovely little blog going here and i will definitely be back to check the recipies (I am especially tempted by the lemon curd muffins!) Thanks again for taking the time to see my blog.

Tarts are great! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi, thanks for ‘liking’ my blog post on “My Other Creative Side” blog….where I share my love of baking and poetry etc. Where abouts do you live? I follow some blogs from England as I visit there often and plan to move there eventually. I love learning their traditional recipes!
I’m in the U.S. but lately have been addicted to baking Dorie Greenspan recipes which mostly seem to have a European flair.
Thanks for stopping by my page! It’s neat to see that ppl actually do glance. I am also a mother of 3 that just enjoys new sweet creations!!

Great blog!
thanks for the “like” on my post Heart Day =)
Thanks for liking Kelley Hospitality. I look forward to trying some of your recipes.
Hello,
Thanks for “liking” my new blog “The Modern Home Economist”. I appreciate the support.
It also introduced me to your own blog which is just beautiful. Full of some amazing recipes which are right up my alley (especially today’s banana bread). Also see you have some lemony recipes – the lemon curd filled poppy seed muffins look amazing!
Hope you will visit my site again – I will surely be coming back to your and looking forward to receiving your updates.
Happy baking!
Hi!
Thanks for dropping by my blog and liking my post on my cake-baking class. 🙂
I looked around your blog and will bookmark to revisit again! Maybe when I work up that baking-confidence, I will try some of the recipes. It’s great to be able to see photos throughout the preparation process and not just the finished product. Thanks!
Hi 🙂 Thank you for the like on my post and for stopping by my blog. I’m going to take a look around your site. Have a great week!
Thank you for your beautiful recipes here that you willingly share with us all! I absolutely love the look of your salted caramel/bourbon cakes and I know my mum is going to love the black bean brownie cake recipe which I’ll happily forward to her! Hope there aren’t too many cold wintry days on your side of the world, look forward to seeing which warmed, baked goodies you warm the house with (yum!)
adorable blog!
thanks for stopping by mine!
Thanks for stopping by my page! I am very interested in trying your black bean brownies…out of curiosity, would someone with a wheat allergy be able to eat them? I notice they don’t contain flour. =)
I’m not in the medical field so I don’t want to guess. I’m sure you could check with your doctor.
Hi Baker on the Rise, thank you for your like on “Bacon and Eggs Cooking”; new to blogging and it’s such a thrill to see
Really love your blog!
Are you by any chance in LA area? It would be great to collaborate your baking with my photography and create great recipe images [for upcoming book perhaps] 🙂
No sorry. Midwestern Mom here!
In any case I wish you the best! 🙂
Thanks

Very very very nice blog… We checked some of your recipes, there are all awsome… We also make some recipes similar with yours (ours are tradiational). But that similarity shows us that “there is no language of taste”…
We love your recipes. You can check ours at http://www.ye-mek.in (English). Orjinal version is in Turkish, that’s why I share link.
Would you mind if I added you to my blogroll?
I would appreciate that very much. Please do 🙂

Hi, thanks for ‘liking’ my baking blog “Fika and more”! I’ve just started blogging and it’s such a thrill to see people outside my own social network finding the blog and liking it 🙂
You have loads of great recipes here – looking forward to trying some of them out!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I’m so glad you did because it led me back to yours. I’m not much of a cook, but I love to bake and love finding new recipes. You’ve posted some great ones!
Thanks for visiting my blog and liking my post!
Thanks for stopping by my blog coz that way I’ve discovered yours. Love the idea of the Hummingbird cake…..can’t wait to try it.
Hi
Thanks for visiting my blog and liking my ‘Scones’ post. The Hummingbird cake looks delicious and I will definitely try it.
The Hummingbird Cake is so unusual that I thought my mom was the only one who made it! The only problem I have with being a baker on the rise is the scale seems to rise also! Thanks for liking my post “Fresh is Always Better”.
I try to bake something indulgent like a cake only once a month to keep the scale in balance. If I didn’t have to worry about any health implications I would probably want to bake something good every day 🙂 The hummingbird cake was new to me but it seems to have a long Southern tradition.
I’m a fan and so I’ve just nominated you for the Food Stories Award.. Check it out at http://foodstoriesblog.com/food-stories-award/
Hi there, thanks for stopping by my blog… those cookies are extremely simple, especially compared to what your doing! My fifteen year old daughter is an aspiring baker and planning to go to culinary school. I can’t wait to share your blog with her, we’re going to have fun trying things!
Thanks for stopping by Domestically Challenged…like your blog a lot–inspiring!

You said you liked to eat healthy as well – check out carrot dogs (http://themercenaryresearcher.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/the-carrot-dog-story-a-tale-of-skepticism-and-amazement/) my veg friend turned me on to them. They are FABULOUS and even meat eaters like them!
