On baking [Baileys Cupcakes]

My mom never really did a lot of baking except for my birthday cakes. I still remember one time when we made gingerbread for christmas. Usually she didn't care much for making a mess so you can imagine my surprise when she dumped the flour uncerimoniously on the table and cracked some eggs open.

My father doesn't do a whole lot of baking either. He actually only ever bakes lemon sheet cake with lemon icing. A recipe which he got from his grandmother.

The first time I actually made cookies for christmas was this last christmas.
