As every single ad in the world will tell you, it’s Back-to-School Time!

Also, as every single ad in the world will tell you, the cool kids HATE to go back to school.

As this blog will tell you, I am not a cool kid. (This is Kate, btw. I think that Hannah is probably a cool kid. I’m lucky she finds my serious uncoolness amusing).

Logic then dictates that: I LOVE to go back to school.

Raspberry Coconut Layer Cake

A major life event happened!  And I’m not talking about the fact that I recently dyed my own sofa slipcover, although that is fairrrrrrly major.  For my life.

No.  A REAL life event.  My little brother went to college!  I say little, but, let’s face it.  I’ve been the shortest person in my family for an embarrassingly long time.  Dumb. Continue reading

4 Aug This summer has also produced some surprising baking fails. My cake was ugly, but tasty. Yours will be beautiful. And tasty!

Guh. This summer. I’m sorry for being pretty much the worst at posting things.

I’m just kinda busy and exhausted. I mean, before I get whiny: my life is awesome. My existence as a Summer Associate is cushy. I know this. But, my life is also a 12 week long interview at the moment. This means that I haven’t been able to wear sweatpants for months. This means I have to do my hair every day. This means I actually have to put “bake” on my To Do List. It’s bizarre and weird and I apologize that its affecting you.

Anyway. Hi! I’ve missed you!
