Introduction

Hello wonderful world of bloggers and blog readers. I'm Suzette- or Suzie, whichever- and I'm here to blog about my experiences as a baker and cupcake decorator, as well as write reviews for restaurants I've been to.

A little about me: I'm a double major in Culinary Arts and Tourism and Hospitality Management. My first two loves were traveling and food. When I was 3, my wonderful mother asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday. I told her I wanted to go to France. She told me I couldn't go to France and I had to pick somewhere else, like Friendly's. (For those of you who haven't heard of it, Friendly's is a chain restaurant with quite possibly some of the best ice cream and desserts in the country.) I settled for Friendly's, still semi-heart broken about not being able to go to France, and happily enjoyed my favorite dessert- a Cone-Head Sundae- Ice cream in a dish decorated with M&M's decorated to look like a face, topped off with a sugar cone as a make-shift hat. Thus the traveling culinarian was born. I still haven't been to France, 21 years later, but I still enjoy Friendly's ice cream.

A little more about me: I have 2 wonderful cats, 2 adorable little sisters who mean the absolute world to me, and a food-lover boyfriend who will try anything I bake or cook and tell me honestly whether or not it sucks. I play a lot of video games on my Xbox 360, watch pretty much anything on Food Network and Travel Channel- with Bizarre Foods, Man v. Food and anything with Paula Deen and her sons in it being my absolute favorites. I'm allergic to pineapple and coconut, so don't expect very many reviews for foods with these items in them- I make exceptions when I have Benadryl on hand.

I hope the coming reviews of restaurants and my blogs about my baking and decorating experiences are both enjoyable and informative.

Keep Smilin' :)
