About

Jökulsárlón

I'm a small tomboy lady who dwells in Denver. Aside from spending long hours in the kitchen, I enjoy over sized mugs of coffee, a good shift dress and running my fingers along wrought iron fences. I started baking in late 2007 for a coworker who I found to be rather handsome. Turns out the best way to a mans heart is through his stomach, becuase we've been kicking it for over four years, now. As for ladycakes, he's the one who gave me the name. And I happen to think it's the cutest thing in the world.

Oh, and I have five brothers. You know, in case you were wondering why I say some of the inappropriate things I do. Being around that much testosterone, for a majority of your life, will do that to a lady.

FAQ

Where'd you get your glasses?
They're the Fillmore frames (in Tennessee Whiskey) from Warby Parker.

Where do you get your plates, bowls and napkins? Especially the bowl in the peanut butter cup soft serve post?
I get most of my props from West Elm, but the lotus bowl is from Anthropologie. I also pick up a few things at Goodwill and other various thrift stores.

Why Lady Cakes?
Actually, it's ladycakes - one word ;) But, a pretty rad dude named me ladycakes in 2007, and it stuck.

What kind of camera do you use?
Not a fancy one, I can tell you that. I've been using a Sony DSC-TX7 for two years, and one thing I've learned is that it's not the camera that matters, it's the person behind it. When I first started blogging, I took horrible photos. Not that I take great photos now, but I certainly have a better eye for things than I did when I first started.  As of 16 Dec 2011 I use a Canon T3i 600D.

Is it ok to link back to you?
Absolutely! You don't even have to ask. If you post one of my recipes, you must link back to this site.

Why won't you add me on facebook?
My personal facebook page is for my close friends only. Sorry!
