I live in Northern California with my boyfriend and my youngest son (the oldest just moved to SF but his bedroom remains a shrine until he lets me turn it into my home office). I wear many hats....sometimes a baker, sometimes a caterer, always a sales rep in the gift industry!
I started this blog in 2010 at the urging of one of my nieces, I believe she even came up with the name. This blog was my outlet, my self-therapy, my very happy escape during a tough time in my life. I had just divorced and was raising my two boys, while working full time, and going back to college full time. This blog was the place I could bake, share my stories, and help me discover who I was again!
I've take a break from the blog for a while but I've never stopped baking and cooking and I'm back to share more great recipes, pictures of my creations (don't judge me by my photography skills), and new stories of life!
I hope you enjoy what you read and that you are inspired to try a new recipe!

Hi Becky!
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready for a Begining Baking Class and decided to change it up - I got my hands on the book What's New Cupcake, and while I also am not a cake fan, love the decorating ideas in this book - I have wowed friends with cupcakes and some are pretty darn easy. So decided the kids would make scratch cupcakes and then decorate, so I am using some of your recipes! I am going to do a test run of the chocolate toffee today. Thanks for having such a great blog that I knew I could do the cupcakes first time with the kids and not worry that the recipe would come out weird!
Thanks so much! I am glad that you enjoy my blog and my recipes! I wish you good luck with your baking class and look forward to reading all about it on your blog! :)
DeleteI missed this the numerous times I have been here visiting. My daughter is also raising boys by herself and hats off to you lady. That's a full time job as it is.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you are FFFFF this week but you are always one of Evelyn's Faves:) I couldn't answer your comments via email because it shows you are a noreply commentator. Not sure if you know that or not. I was until a friend told me and I googled it and changed it, now I get replies from my bloggies when I leave a comment on their blog:)
Will be checking back all week:) And of course I will be sharing the Fave's all week on Facebook etc:)
Have a super terrific weekend!
What a great blog. I just found you via FFF and wanted to check out this BAKER Becky! =) My last name is Baker too...love what you're sharing here. Would love for you to come over and visit me sometime too...www.thebetterbaker.blogspot.com. And would be thrilled to have you join us on Fridays for Weekend Potluck linky party, though this Friday is the last for me for a few weeks as we will be going on vacation . Kudos to you raising two boys alone too. I love making memories in the kitchen with my grandkids. Keep on doing what you do best!
ReplyDeleteHI Becky I am in love with your Pink Cake with the cheetah print on the inside and the little shoes on top. I asked my baker if this was something she could do and she was not sure how to do it. Is there any way I could get some instructions to share with her so we can have this amazing cake for my sister Baby shower.
ReplyDeleteThanks J.Anderson
