How do you write a letter when there is no way to accurately describe your thoughts and feelings? When every word, every sentence does not feel right, feels inappropriate or just not good enough?

The Baking Experiment presents: Joe’s Cookie Monster Cupcakes

It has been a while since I posted anything baking related and that leaves me with contemplating two possible answers as to why that is the case: a) I have been too busy socialising or b) too lazy to bake.

The Baking Experiment Presents: Blackberry Sourecream Octopus Cupcakes

So, London Collections: Men happened. It was my first time doing the shows and hence I had to immerse myself into unknown territory, also known as menswear.
