Nutritionally Unsound

So after my first two posts of yummy delicious looking cupcakes that are vibrant and colorful, I’d like to explain a little bit about why I created this blog.

Baking has always been a hobby of mine and I love to create beautiful cupcakes, cakes, and cookies with lots of color and beautiful designs (which in most cases requires excessive frosting, sugar, candy, and butter T-T). However, there is just one problem for me…I am a graduate from the Department of Nutrition at Case Western Reserve University and knowing everything that goes into my delicious creations I find that I never want to eat them when they are finished. (This hasn’t been a problem yet as I have plenty of people willing to eat them for me, but it would be nice to partake in them too ^-^).

As my wonderful big from my sorority gave me two books FULL of wonderful and creative cupcake ideas, I want to be baking and making lots of beautiful creations over the next year. But, again there is my dilemma of not wanting all that sugar and fat to enter my system…AND THUS this blog was born.

I want to search for “Nutritionally Sound” solutions to my sugar and fat problem without lowering the taste quality of the cupcake or the ability of the frosting I use to make patterns and designs.

As there are so many creative things I still want to do I will still be posting pictures of my “Nutritionally Unsound” cupcakes and cakes, but will be using this blog as my quest for the perfect desserts: ones that taste good but do not have nearly as much sugar and fat (and maybe even have a few vegetables and fruits snuck in ^-^).

So begins my journey, and I hope that those of you following along enjoy it with me! ^-^
