Home is Where the Heart is

Heart Polka Dot Macarons & Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

     Or in my case, home is where my sweet tooth is. For some, their sweet tooth falls out along with their last baby tooth. But for me, that child crying out for desserts and baked delicacies still rages on. 

     I have always been incredibly jealous of people who have that one hobby that they can call their "thing". That one "thing" they are so passionate about that they can talk about it for hours on end. After a considerable amount of time trying to come up with my "thing", I realized that my mind kept wandering off to some sweet craving of mine. How obvious had my passion been all along! If there's one thing I absolutely adore, It is sweets. Give me any decadent pastry and I will be your best friend. 

     It is ironic to think that all my life, my parents have told me to stay away from sweets, yet here I am embracing my love for them. Desserts satisfy not only my taste buds, but my soul. As cliche as that sounds, it is completely true. Who cares if I have to visit the dentist a little more often? If I have a craving, I will fulfill it! 

    To all my future readers out there, prepare to have your mouth water. This will be a place to review bakeries, recipes, and my own failed experiments. However, I must add this disclaimer. Every now and then, I may drift off into some land of my own creation and write about whatever is fascinating me at the moment. Bon appetit, and I am not responsible for any weight you may gain as a result of this blog.
