As this is my first blog, I would like to take a second to introduce myself:
My name is Doug and I’m from Massachusetts. I’m a college student, entering my fourth year. I’m a biochemistry major. From what I’ve just mentioned, you can understand two of the three words in the title of this blog.
The other word is somewhat unrelated. Cakes. Well, it just so happens it is related in a way. For me that is. Cakes are what I do while I’m at school and not studying. Or rather, food is what I do when not studying and/or researching and working. I have found that I love cooking for in a way it is science, but it’s not an exact science all the time and if you know what you’re doing well enough measuring turns into guesstimating and turns into all sorts of deliciousness in the end… Unless it turns into a hot mess, in which case you learn never to add ingredients in those relative amounts ever again.
One of the aims of this blog will be to document my food-making ventures and share with you both my triumphs and utter failures… Most of which will be documented with pictures and explanations of what I did and why it failed if it’s known and follow up food experiments if they take place.
Other aims of this will be to post about life at school and updates about my research that will be taking place at school and other tidbits of relevant things in the life of Doug.
I hope this blogging experiment is as enjoyable for you as I’m sure it will be for me!

Dougie! I want to see some photos of cakes! And/or chemistry!
