Hello! Welcome to my blog all about baking sweets! As an avid baker I've come across and invented many recipes that I am dying to share. They are delicious and always sweet! If you have any interest in cooking let me guide you through some easy steps to make yummy cookies, mouth-watering cakes, many scrumptious muffins, pies and much much more!

I want everyone to know that I didn't start out as a great cook, it took a lot of time and practice (and many failures) to be successful, but I assure you that if you follow my directions you'll be eating finger-licking good cookies with friends and family! 

My first baking incident started at a young age. I was thirteen, in middle school and I was dying for no-bake cookies. I sat with some cocoa and butter in a pan on the stove for over an hour. I didn't realize that I hadn't turned it on. After wasting an hour staring at my chocolate butter, (tummy growling, sweet tooth aching) I turned the strove on and thanked my blonde hair for the mishap. I also made the mistake of adding less than enough oatmeal. I ended up with one large no-bake cookie. It ran off the wax paper and onto the floor. Mom was not happy. I didn't bake another dish until I was eighteen years old. Even with the hiatus from the kitchen, I still dreamed of making pies, cakes and cookies. I was determined to return to the kitchen, apron on and spatula in hand. In the past few years I've racked up some delicious dishes with much better turn out than that first batch of no-bake cookies. 

My first recipe I'm going to share is a recipe for pumpkin muffins I came across on good 'ol Pinterest. While the recipe is borrowed, the recipe for the frosting is my own. This tasty treat will leave family members drooling so beware!

  1. What you can dream, you can achieve. Keep baking Sarah! I have a feeling your blog posts are going to have us all drooling (and wishing we had face-to-face classes so we could convince you to bring something sweet for everyone:) Your blog proposal was good, but one word of caution. I want you to credit the original source (that means dig deeper than "I found it on Pinterest") of recipes that aren't Sarah orginals. When in doubt, leave the recipe out. I would hate to decrease your grade for plagiarism or see your blog targeted for copying, but not crediting someone else's recipes. Food writers tend to watch for such things. Thanks.
