About

Every now and then, people ask me how long I've been baking, what's my favorite thing to make, etc.  So, here it is, in all it's glory...

10 things you probably didn't know about Joyce

1.  I started baking when I was nine.  My first creation was a peanut butter-chocolate chip cookie.  I used two full bags of chips for my recipe instead of one - and my sweet tooth has never been the same.

2.  I love, love, love dark chocolate.  Growing up, Hershey's Miniatures was my favorite candy bag because I had the Hershey's Special Dark all to myself.

3.  I also love, love, love lemons.  Lemon bars, lemon curd, lemon souffles, lemonade, lemon cake, lemon slices, Lemonheads...you name it, I heart it.

4.  Decorating cupcakes is one of my favorite things to do.  Other favorites include playing hockey, photography, singing in my car and riding my bike at the beach.

5.  I love baking for people.  When you smile after eating one of my cupcakes, my heart does backflips.

6.  Favorite thing to bake: cupcakes  Favorite thing to eat that I bake: brownies. 

7.  I am a foodie.  Some of my favorite things to eat include tuna poke, veggie pizza and caramel apples.

8.  Favorite restaurant:  oh geez...I like so many types of cuisine, so in a perfect world, my dream restaurant would serve a phenomenal Mexican mocha, fried chicken, ahi sliders, carne asada tacos, grilled squid, shrimp egg rolls and churros.

9.  My background is in PR, so I love to write and plan events.  For some people it's work, but for me, it's fun!

10.  I am on a mission to collect marathon medals.  I currently have 10 race medals (one full marathon, eight half marathons and one 12k) - you can read about my race adventures here.
