Call me on any random weekend or evening after work, and chances are good you’ll catch me whipping up a buttercream storm to frost cupcakes I’ve got, almost always, cooling on the counter, or spooning dollops of cookie dough onto a baking sheet.</p> <p>I am also that girl who loves things that look pretty. My food included. I toast my sandwich bread in the mornings so it looks nice when I eat it at lunch. Even though my sandwich is anything but crispy, four hours later, sitting inside a zip-lock bag buried in the bottom of my oversized bag, I think food that looks good always tastes better.</p> <p><img src="http://static1.shopify.com/s/files/1/0025/4972/files/cupcake-batch.jpg?1232762764" style="float: left; padding: 0em 1em 1em 0pt;" alt=""/>It’s no surprise then that I like my food to be aesthetically pleasing, which is why I absolutely love making the things I bake look more like tiny pieces of art, as opposed to something you’d find in a local grocery store. Luxury dessert, if you will.</p> <p>I love classic flavours and pairings, but have a passion for coming up with new combinations that put a twist on familiar favourites. I am always looking for new (and sometimes unexpected!) ingredients to make everything taste even better than it did the last time I made it.</p> <p>Good things come in small packages! Enjoy!</p> <p>Product photography taken by two close friends <a href="http://photography.studiogabe.com/" target="blank">Gabriel Li</a>, who specializes in <a href="http://weddings.studiogabe.com/" target="blank">wedding photography</a>, and <a href="http://www.ryanlauphotography.ca" target="blank">Ryan Lau</a>.
