What moves you? No, really – what MOVES you? Words move me. They always have. I write poetry (shh don’t tell anyone!) and I keep a journal. I love words.

I have always loved to bake cakes, but never was really ‘in’ to baking a whole lot. Not because I didn’t love it, but because I didn’t have the right tools for the job. Whether your cake is in a plain round pan or a plain square pan, sure they may taste the same, but… [Continue Reading]
