After being told on numerous occasions:<\/p>\n

“You should write a blog!<\/h3>\n

“You should have a website” or “What’s your website?”<\/h3>\n

“Why don’t you do this professionally?”<\/h3>\n

I gave in.  I’ll admit, writing is another<\/em> one of my passions, and I’ve always thought about doing something like this, but needed a push.  After taking a big word of mouth baking job for a co-worker in 2011, my husband (who will be henceforth known as “The Husband” when I write about him in this blog) said, “You need a website.”  And that was the final straw.<\/p>\n

Lucky for me, a dear friend (who shares my love of the San Francisco Giants and passion for sweets) was taking a flash class, and her enthusiasm was catching.  I did not do any flash here, but her enthusiasm was catching and she inspired me to move forward.  They (whoever “they” are) say there is no such thing as a coincidence, and my day job is to work with a bunch of talented designers.  These guys are always keeping me on my toes, making me self-conscious of my fonts, colors, consistency, layout and user experience practices…So I constantly must bribe them with bacon cookies and goodies from time to time to not feel so guilty when I ask dumb, rookie website and graphic design questions…<\/p>\n

The name “CAKEooh” came about almost accidentally:<\/p>\n
