Holy Forking Website!

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

— Oscar Wilde.

Hello! Two years ago I started baking as a way to cope with the immense pressures and stress of grad school. I figured out that I loved it! So much so that I created a blog so that I can share my recipes, failures, favorite tips and tricks, and other nonsense with those that I love. I want to share so that others can have a place to find easily accessible tips for difficult to make desserts, such as macarons (AKA demon cookies). I have come a long way in a short time span, and I want to help others who may be intimidated by these fancy desserts. You can make these too!

Why the name? Well because 1- I love/loved the show The Good Place, and 2- it’s just the kind of person I am. For years I tried so hard to be elegant, and classy, and “deep”, and poetic and it came off dull, and annoying. That aesthetic really works for people -because that’s who THEY are. Yet, it always seemed really not-so-genuine for ME. I’m loud, I’m goofy, I’m always making jokes, and I have a bit of a potty mouth. That’s just who I am. So in the interest of keeping this blog true to my intentions, that’s what it will be also. For the record, if you are deep, poetic, elegant, and classy you’re still T-totally welcome here baby! Because it’s all about being yourself. What fun is life if you have to pretend to be something you’re not?

I’m not a business. This is solely something that I do as a method of stress reduction and just overall joy. I don’t take special orders. I will ON OCCASION sell a few of my cookies or do a local vendor event just to cover the cost of my equipment/ingredients but this is not about money, it’s just my happy place. 🙂

So welcome! Have fun, and I hope you learn something or at least get a good laugh on occasion.
