Hi! My name is Mary. I’m a public librarian by day, and a baker by night (well, usually at 4:30 in the morning). I started this blog to chronicle my progress learning to bake from scratch. I like Big Bundts, mochi, Jello, sorbet, eating out, traveling and nice people. And I really like my birthday. Really.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’m a weather wimp and a double Bruin (undergrad and graduate degrees from UCLA). I've always worked for non-profits, and for the past six years I've been a public librarian. My baking and photography is far from perfect, but it’s a fun hobby and I’m always learning something new. There is nothing better than bringing a pink box of goodies to friends, co-workers and family. I hope this blog will inspire you to do the same.
Thanks for visiting and Happy Baking!
