I've long had a sweet tooth, and it flourished during my short sojourn in France. It was the viewing of Stranger than Fiction during my senior year of college, though, that got me interested in baking my own sweets. Maggie Gyllenhaal's scene where she explains how she got into the baking business was just enlightening. So now I dabble here and there with baking. I'm mainly interested in simple sweets, the simpler the better. It never hurts if loads of chocolate and frosting are involved either...
