The first step is admitting you have a problem...

Okay, my first hurdle was deciding if this was going to be funny, or serious.  Will I try to amuse you, or just inspire?  What if I'm not funny or inspiring?  I suppose that's an easy answer, you'll just stop reading right around here.....


Still with me?  Good, because I think this will be fun for all of us.  We're going to run the first few weeks like a 12 step program for Bakers - tell your friends, because like the lunchlady from my grade school cafeteria, we can all use some support.  Please lunchlady Barb, for the love of mystery meat, find some support.


To make this easier, I'll start things off.  "Hello, my name is Amy, and I'm a baker".  This is step one, admitting you have a problem.  Now it's your turn, first names only - and then admit you have a problem.  I'll wait here.


......


Everyone had a turn?  Excellent... I would like to point out that I don't necessarily feel being a Baker is a problem, but rather that I'd like to be a better Baker. 


Stop it.  I know what you're thinking.  I am not.


I believe the word you're fumbling around for is 'particular'.  I am particular.  There.. I've admitted my problem.  Happy now ???  oh wait, this was my idea...


Anyway...so tonight is nachos night (YUM), followed by more butterfly wing creating.  I'm experimenting with some leftover icing, trying to see if it will work well with melted chocolate.  I'll post some pictures later tonight and let you know how it turns out.  In the meantime, here's a picture of a cake I made for a friends' birthday. 

Happy Baking!
