Welcome to my bit of the world.

I am sure that in my first blog I am supposed to say something witty and charming to draw you in so you will read my blog and become interested in my little bakery project.  Sorry to disappoint! 

Quick background on me:  I live alone (my boyfriend lives in Florida), I have worked in the same office job for almost 5 years, I was in the Army, and I love to bake.  I am starting an online bakery on Etsy.com (peachesncreambakery.etsy.com) and after the inital start-up process of finding a name, and a target product, I let the holidays distract me from making a serious go at it. 

A friend of mine recommended that I start a blog and talk about the bakery on Facebook and twitter to shamelessly promote my cookies.  I am going to start the blog today.  Hopefully I will be able to focus and keep my entries about the baking and the decorating - but hey life pops into everything and there are no definate lines to divide those sections right?

The cookies are wonderful  bits of heaven that melt in your mouth (others tell me that too!).  I love to go home after a long day at the office and bake something new.  I can not even tell you how many cookie recipes I have tried over the years! 

I have started taking cake decorating classes to enhance my cookies and to learn how to do cakes.  So far I have taken two classes.  I went to the Holiday Party the instructor throws for all her students that year and came away with a trophy.  So I must have talent right?

If you get a chance check out my shop peachesncreambakery.etsy.com (see two mentions - shameless aren't I?).  There are some basic cookies there now, and my goal is to add a new cookie every 2 weeks.  If you are so tempted and place an order mention my blog in the comments section and I will give you a discount.  10% off a good deal?
