Welcome to Katie's PudgeMuffin Page!!

For  the past year or so, I have slowly but surely found myself mildly addicted to every cake show on television.  My fiance Patrick would walk in the door at the end of the day and ask the default questions of "How are you?" and "What are you watching?"  I was usually doing pretty well since work was over and the second answer was always either Ace of Cakes, Cupcake Wars, Fabulous Cakes, Food Network Challenge, etc.  Being the loving girl that I am, I would let him flip over to the Phillies game every night because I would know the second it ended, I would have control of the television back. :)

Cooking and baking have always been an interest of mine and I love finding recipes and trying out new things.  I love taking a new recipe to any sort of get together and seeing what sort of reaction I get from everyone... I know if I go home with leftovers, it's probably not a keeper!!  However, on most occasions I find myself walking home with a dish that looks like it's been licked clean by a puppy!!

A few months ago, I found out two of my best friends were going to have a backyard wedding.  I jumped at the chance to give them the best present I could... a special wedding cake just for the two of them :)  I spent countless hours pouring over pictures, recipes, tips and techniques.  I guess it was this endeavor that threw me full force into the love of baking... so here we are :)  I figure I might as well publish my journey as I try out new flavors and decorations and hopefully end up helping someone else along the way!!
