My name's Jackie and I love to bake. I've been making all types of desserts since I was twelve, and it's become quite a hobby for me. When I'm not baking, I love to sing and read comics. Anything sweet, especially cakes and cookies. Every Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, I'm responsible for making the desserts for the family get-togethers. I'll always treasure my time sharing the kitchen with my mom, baking alongside her as she prepares the rest of the food. Those are some of the happiest memories I have. I usually do my best work when I'm not trying very hard. Some of the tastiest desserts I've ever made came into existence when I was sad, angry, nervous, or excessively giddy. My biggest kitchen disaster happened when I made a peanut butter cup cheesecake for my boyfriend's birthday. I tried a new baking method to prevent the cake from cracking, but I must not have baked it long enough because when I removed the sides of the pan, the entire thing gushed out all over the counter. I was devastated.
