There are words piling up in my head and pictures crowding my desktop, yet lately I don't really know how to put it all together. I want to write more, to post more, yet I find myself being pulled in so many baking directions, many that do not involve cake at all.
When I started the blog, my only intention was to have a place to catalog lovely (and/or interesting) pictures of cake. The happiness that came to me instantaneously upon looking at the images was wonderful and weird, and I relished having the archive.
All of this posting coincided with an interest in baking that grew at a feverish pace until I was turning on my oven three or four times a week—occasionally every day. Cake Thursday was born from this, and it has served me well as both a testing ground for recipes and ideas as well as fulfilling one of my greatest joys: giving things I've made to people I care about.
The purpose of all of this rambling? I just wanted to let any readers out there floating in the ether of the Internet that my posts may be erratic for a time while I figure out where to take all of this. You can expect random, unexplained images, the occasional mumble, maybe a paragraph or two, but I expect to be all over the place for a little while.
Thank you so much for visiting this little piece of the world. I hope that, thus far, it has given you some happiness as well.
More to come in words. For now, I'll leave you with a random selection of recent images, Cake Thursday and otherwise.
