Cakes from 2012

Chocolate-Orange bundt cake

Melting clock cupcakes

Polka dot birthday cake

Lemon cake with strawberry-basil frosting

 A skill improved this year was building cakes.

GOALS FOR 2013

• Take more photos with my real camera - no more iPhone photos!
• Try making different kinds of treats - less cookies and cakes
• Bake at home more often
• Make more main dishes/savory food

I'd say this year was pretty good as far as skill improvement goes. I would have never thought I would come this far in baking. I'm still pretty new to it but I definitely see A LOT of differences from this year and last year.

I graduated from school in May and turned my internship into a full time job. I also got my first kitchen injury this year (four stitches in my thumb, not my best moment!!). I can't wait to see what kind of things I learn and make in 2013.
