Cooking and baking holds and represents so many memories for me. Whether slicing runner beans with my grandmother in England, making true Southern biscuits with my godfather, or helping my mom with her annual Buche de Noel cake during the holidays, food has always played an incredibly meaningful role in my life.
As crazy as it may sound, cupcakes have played an equally as meaningful role. Where would my life be without these perfectly-proportioned little cakes topped with frosting?
If you’ve been following this blog for some time, you know that right after graduating from college, I got a job working as a baker for a DC food truck (whose owner, Sandra–one of my good friends–now owns one of the cutest bakeries and cafes in the DC area!).
I was constantly covered in powdered sugar and cocoa and occasionally got my fingers stuck in pastry tips, but it was a huge turning point in my life.
