April's SweetShop

I cannot remember a time when I did not bake. My mother bought me my first "Robin Hood" apron, chef's hat and oven mitts when I was just 6 years old. I have noticed a trend in the bakery world. Bakeries are making gorgeous cakes and cupcakes that look like a work of art. The trouble is, when you take that first highly anticipated bite, it is a complete disappointment. I may not be able to create a piece of a cake that looks like a Gucci purse, but I guarantee it will taste amazing!

About Me

My photo
April's SweetShop
Baking is in my genes! My grandmother was a great baker, and I remember her pie crust being the best pie crust I have, still to this day, ever tasted. My most beloved Aunt Iola was an amazing cook and baker, so I am told. But it is my mother who started my baking passion and continuely helps me, guides and directs me. The taste has always come first in our household, looks second. I've travelled, and figured out a lot about me in the last 10 years. Baking has always been a source of therapy, and a way for me to show my love towards others.
