Let's Bake!

I've had a hankering for a while to do some baking. Not sure why, I just have. 
Probably all the ridiculous inspiration that comes by way of the world wide web and wonderful world of blogging. 
Take a look...

A little bit late for the holidays but perfect to take the guesswork out of birthdays or random gifts for the bakers in your lives, or for you to anonymously send to your husband for the baker in his life (you.) 
A perfect rundown of the essentials (from the beginner to the novice) - you're going to want need everything on this list!

I'll leave you with some great baking (and food) blogs to check out while I try to choose what yummy little morsel I'm going to bake: 






I'm thinking I'm in the mood for cupcakes...hmmm

ps - Here's a cake I made spur of the moment for a friend's birthday gathering and yes that is a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream - what else are you going to drink with chocolate cake? 
Here's the recipe, I literally just Googled 'easy chocolate cake' and then made a frosting and threw sprinkles on top - that's the secret by the way, sprinkles makes everything & anything look amazing!
