Pilot Episode

Welcome to my blog!  So who is this guy whose baking adventures will be followed in this blog?  I'm a regular guy who writes software for a living.  I play more sports than I can count.  I have a black belt.  I know how to solve a Rubiks cube.  I like to teach myself new things.  I play poker, video games, and I can make an awesome pina colada.  I have zero food training experience.  And I enjoy baking.  A lot.

When I tell people about all the stuff I bake I often get asked the question "What's up with the baking?"  I will then explain how one day, I decided to bake cupcakes (it was instant mix so no skill involved) for the the kids on my basketball team which they finished instantly so then I thought there might be something to this baking thing.  I also thought it was a good way to impress a girl.  So I started baking and eventually got completely hooked.

So here I am a year later.  So why am  I here now?  A week or two ago, I happened to catch a bunch of episodes of Cake Boss and DC Cupcakes which I have never seen before, and I thorougly enjoyed watching their wacky adventures.  Then I thought to myself, "they have wacky adventures baking, I have wacky adventures baking!" and so I decided to chronicle my stories here, until I get my own reality tv series that is.  Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do making them!

p.s. thanks to my sister for the blog name, way better than the names I came up with!
