It's the last day of June...where on earth did this month go?! Time seems to just fly on by. I have a goal. My goal is to try and create my Dreamsicle cake balls tonight so I can bring them to work tomorrow and force feed them to my co-workers. Trust me, it'll take some convincing. If I don't end up getting them done tonight, I'll definitely do them this weekend because I have no plans for the Fourth of July weekend and I'll need SOMETHING to do for my 3-day weekend. And like any good food blog, of course I'll be including pictures of my treats. I'm excited to try them out. I actually am doing the cake balls from an idea that just popped in my head. I didn't look online for Dreamsicle recipes or anything. I had to look online to see how to actually make the cake balls, but the Dreamsicle was alllllll my genius. :) I hope it all goes well!
I also need to figure out what my next baking attempt will be. Dare I try a cake? A pie? Maybe cupcakes? I think I need to buy some baking tools.
Wish me luck! (Wish it...or else).
Fire away!

#1 Post! Yeah, #1!
Yay, this is my first post on my brand new blog! Here are some questions you may ask:
What is this blog going to be addressing?
Why does your blog title make me want big hair, converse, and fishnet gloves?
Why is "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" now stuck in my head?
Is it stuck in your head now?
Anyway, creating the title of the blog was actually the hardest decision I've had to make about the blog thus far. I love Pat Benatar and who can ignore the fact that one of her biggest hits has the name of a baked good in the lyrics? I also didn't want a cutesy, pink frilly kind of blog. I needed a blog title that had some edge, some sass, some spice. It just seemed perfect. Still wondering what this blog is about? Baked goods, of course!
For a while now I've been thinking about how much fun it would be to be a pastry chef. If I could have any job in the world regardless of money or schooling, I would want to own a successful bakery. Woah, dream big! (Juno, anyone?) It may not seem like that great of a dream but I realized my dream should be attainable, unlike my dream of marrying Prince Harry and becoming a princess. That's far too unrealistic...unfortunately.
You know what isn't unrealistic? How expensive culinary school is. So, one day at work, I was talking with my #1 Fan and she mentioned just baking on my own and learning as I go. Buying ingredients is going to be much cheaper than school. I decided she was smart and got really excited about the prospect of baking and she also mentioned that I could blog about my baking attempts. I then got REALLY excited at the prospect of having a hobby.
So what am I going to bake? Well, anything that sounds tasty. Cakes, pies, cookies, cupcakes, cake balls, etc. My goal is to be able to bake a Baked Alaska. Russia and Canada will thank me later. (Side note: I have a thing for really bad puns and jokes). I think my first baking attempt will be Dreamsicle cake balls.
Also, I just wanted to mention that the recipes I find to be delectable I will make a copy of the recipe and keep it in a fireproof box at least 100 yards away from the original. :)
