About

Pattycake was my personal blog from 2006-2011 that focused on healthy baking and featured original content. Most of the recipes were developed by me, some are from friends, and a few are from the internet - ditto for the photos. I’m a creative experimenter as well as baking enthusiast and coming up with recipes was a fun and rewarding challenge - and it only felt natural to share them with the world.

Disclaimer: Though I call things “healthy” and “nutritious” all over this blog, after years of being on all sorts of special diets, I no longer feel comfortable labeling anything “healthy”. Health is a complex dynamic thing, everyone is different, and I’m still learning what’s healthy for me.

So I’ve taken a hiatus from sharing recipes here so that I can focus on other things. I’m keeping Pattycake up because people are still enjoying the recipes. Please keep in mind: the site and content are old and may be out of date or broken or ridiculous. Also, I've turned off commenting due to heaps of spam.
