What is more beautiful than baking? I am just not sure... in the world of beautiful things I find it is hard to resist the warmth, smell, rise and family traditions of baking. Oh happy sigh...

I am a dabbler in baking. Letting the desire come and go. When I am weekend mom my daughter and I bake together even something small. The closeness is next to heaven. Cupcakes this weekend. And cupcakes make things better.

My current kick is muffins. Since it is just my daughter and I and our tastes are very different (and she is a strong minded girl) I enjoy recipes that have a basic ingredient we can both enjoy and then I can add to for our differences. Like banana then banana nut for me. I use a small muffin pan for hers and larger one for mine so I can tell them apart in the morning rush. Next I hook her on scones.

I adore pie. Persnickety and messy but fun. Homemade crust.. I know I don't have it down yet but love it anyway. Mom used to make pie squares growing up. I call them portable pie. Flatter made with a thin layer of filling baked on a raised edge cookie sheet. She usually did this before making her pies. Kept 4 kids and their busy hands out of her way. We could grab and go... She was the master of fast good food.

Finally giving in to getting a pastry cloth has done wonders for my baking mood.
