Hi I'm Lauren...and I love to bake sweets

Okay, I'll say this first... I LOVE to bake! It is truly something I think I could do every day. If butter wasn't so darn expensive and if I didn't have to work out twice as much I probably would! I am new to this whole blogging thing, but with my new found free time (between starting a new job, school and getting engaged haha) I thought I would give it a shot (at least it's a good excuse to bake right?)



First baking post, I kept it simple... Pretty Pink Vanilla Cupcakes (vanilla cupcake with vanilla butter cream...dash of red food dye to get the ballet pink color). I wanted to take a picture that made sense with my title (Sweets on Pointe... get it?) Ballet is my other passion in life, and while I will NOT be baking in my pointe shoes, I will most definitely be dancing around the kitchen to 90's music (yes, the 90's were awesome) while the mixer is going. And to complete the circle these cupcakes were consumed by none other than ballerinas (Thanks His Grace dancers for saving me a few extra calories!).

So here we go... Sweets on Pointe (and I'm sure sometimes on flat ;)  ). Off to bake a Salted Caramel Cake for my cousin's birthday!
