Hi, I’m Megan, The Emotional Baker. I’m a lover of baked treats, running and furry friends.

What’s the story behind the blog title? Well, it’s a pretty darn accurate description of my time in the kitchen. I love to bake, but when things flop, I do, too. Below are a few of examples of baking adventures that made me an emotional mess.

  • Muffin batter that turned out to be cookie dough.
  • Bundt cake that would NOT come out of the pan.
  • Caramel sauce that turned into rock hard caramel candy (and almost ruined my mom’s pan.)

Even after all the messes, I always find myself back baking up some new concoction.

A word about the ingredients: Most everything you’ll find here is vegan. For more info on why I bake sans dairy, take a look at the about section of my first blog, megbakes. Please don’t let that word discourage you from staying. Everything is just as good, if not better, than treats made with milk and eggs.

But never fear, just scoop the remaining in a microwave safe bowl, microwave for a minute, and enjoy. ‘Cause you have to taste test anyway right? 😜

Perfect. • It’s something we try so hard to ac Perfect.
•
It’s something we try so hard to achieve.
•
But at times it can leave us feeling tired, unworthy, and not “as good” as our peers.
•
Trying to get the perfect photo, something I use to love to do, started to drain me out more than fill me up.
•
So I haven’t been taking as many photos.
•
Getting the perfect photo would lead to my family eating cold pancakes while I tried to get that award winning shot. Or an hour of clean up picking up all the leftover sprinkles I used for my fancy backdrop.
•
So this Easter I kept things easy. I shot a few quick photos of these Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with my iPhone and left my DSLR and natural light to the side.
•
The Emotional Baker of a year ago would gasp that I’m posting this photo.
•
But here’s the truth: Every day’s perfect, even if it goes unplanned. Every meal, every moment with loved ones, every walk, everything you do each and everyday is perfect. And just as it’s intended to be.
•
Here’s to a day of finding bliss in the imperfect and knowing it truly is perfect just as it is.
•
Happy Easter!
•
Love, Megan - The Emotional Baker 💖🐰😘

Why is it the simplest shaped cookies are always m Why is it the simplest shaped cookies are always my favorite? Maybe it's the same reason the simplest things in life are my favorite too.
•
Every year I look forward to a round cookie, with icing, and crunchy sprinkles. This year my cookies got a bit of an update thanks to @freshaprilflours and @fancysprinkles.
•
My wish for you this Christmas is that you can savor the simple things, find peace and feel the love that surrounds you every day.
•
All my love,
Megan - The Emotional Baker 🎄❤️😘
