I'm Instagramming the Heck Outta This
The triumph and tragedy of the summer haircut: The countdown to when the humidity ruins it begins 💦 #enjoyitwhileitlasts #overtonecolor #orangeWhen Holly is happy, she sticks her tongue out 😛#catsofmadison @rachel.anne.chaMy nephew wanted Bienenstich for his birthday. And I love him, so it happens #baking 🎂Stayed up too late making cupcakes for @ceceliacharlan graduation party with her friends cuz I love her 🧁 #bakingI finished this last winter, but I’ve been too lazy to document it. It’s so large I can’t fit it all in #painting #miyazaki #spiritedaway #totoro #artThe caramel didn’t burn or crystallize, so much can go wrong making caramel. On another note, did not horrifically burn myself on molten sugar. #capownie #caramelPutting apple pie filling on top of a hot, half baked cheesecake is a delicate business. #capownie #bakingThe middle layer, or “puck of doom,” red velvet cake containing a pie and a cookie bar. Also check out those glassy smooth sides — that’s some bad ass depanning right there #capownie #cake 🍰🥧🍪My kitchen at the halfway point. Things I’ve made so far: brownie bar, cookie bar, cherry pie, vanilla custard pie, a chocolate cake, and a red velvet cake. Sitting is for the weak. #capownie #bakingFood is Very Social

About the Baker
I'm paid to design websites, but otherwise I bake, cook, draw, write, knit, run way too much, watch a great many bad movies, repair things, and reluctantly practice amateur psychotherapy and medicine. Jack of all trades, master of none? Most likely. But I tend to be overwhelmed with the options the world offers and people usually end up with cookies because of it, so no one seems to mind.
