Hi there,
I'm Barbs
I love the classics, and I love giving them a little twist: brown butter in my brownies, mascarpone in my cheesecake, apple cider in my crème brûlée donuts. Every recipe here is one I've tested, tweaked, and fallen for.
I'm a self-taught baker who started baking about seven years ago as a way to pass the time, and fell in love. Baking is how I slow down, and how I make the people I love happy.
