Everyone and everything deserves a second shot. It's the inevitable result of the human condition that mistakes will happen. For all the screw-ups, the bad eggs, the maladroits, and the Republicans out there, the drunken escapades, the one-night stands, and the Godfather Part III's, even down to the bad flavor ideas, redemption is always a possibility. And so today, we offer the tragedy that was rum raisin a much-needed reprieve.
Today's daily special:
Rum Raisin Revisited
A moist rum cake with the faintest hint of grape, topped with a grape-raisin frosting. Garnished with rum-soaked raisins. Try one free with your order, or take a dozen for $10.
Enjoy.

baking quest.
It was suggested to me that I try to do something interesting and instructional with this blog. Something that combines my love to blab on and on about things I find interesting, my penchant for baking, and my... general existence as a science nerd, into a useful information source that could lead to some sort of beneficial outcome.
So, we're going to continue to do scientific breakdowns of baking processes and components. Only we're going to add on every couple of days until you're able to develop your own delicious cake recipe, all by yourself. Is it pretentious for a 17 year old freelance cupcake maker to decide to teach people how to bake? Well, yes. But it doesn't mean we can't have a good time.
So keep checking in. We'll start with the basics first: the functions of the main components of cake baking, which to use given which circumstances, and a breakdown of the important reactions that occur during the baking process. Then we'll move on to balancing ingredients in recipes, a few general rules to keep in mind, and some final procedural tips and tricks.
Oh, and of course we're going to cover frosting. What self-respecting baking blog wouldn't?

an exquisite photo shoot.
Apologies for the lack of daily special today, but, on the plus side, here are the long-awaited sample photos I promised:
Would you buy a used car from this man? Well, probably not, but
that's no reason not to buy some delicious baked goods from him.
The Reservoir Dogs shot - with cupcakes.

A stack of Chocolate Chip Cookies and unfrosted Key Lime and Original cupcakes.
The Naked Original. It merited a second posting.
Maybe better than Naked; The Original topped with a chocolate-almond-caramel icing.
Oh, no... I'm Seeing Red (haha, it's a pun!).
The Chocolate Trifecta.
Seeing Red Cupcake after about five minutes of shooting...
