kickoff

well, here we go!
armed with my Canadian Living baking book, a giant list of birthdays, and a pantry full of flour, i'm setting off to bake a cake (or some other form of appropriate dessert) for everyone's birthday. i made up a list and figured that i will be baking about 34 cakes over the next 365 days.

now i know what you're thinking. that doesn't seem like a lot, but let me put it in perspective for you:
march, may, and december each have five, four, and five birthdays respectively, so that proves that there are huge gaps in between. not to mention that there are three days that have two or more people to bake for. the longest gap is from july 2nd (dad), to august 21st (Marek). that will be one heck of a long break, so maybe i will entertain you with other baking adventures.

the first cake and person to be featured is Lindsay. i sent her a message today to ask about flavours and textures she will appreciate. i will be doing this with everyone so that each person gets something they will enjoy eating, not just something that looks good.

joining me on this adventure is my camera, Lira. my ever faithful Nikon will be documenting the whole journey, including my masterpieces and my pieces (of cake) lacking mastery. (see what i did there?).
