(Side note: "Red Delicious" apples are all red and no delicious, don't even @ me.)  But, in hoping they'd get redder and sweeter if we just left them on the tree until as late as possible, we waited a little too long - and the first frost hi

Hellooooo and welcome to Sugar Berries! I'm so excited to start Sugar Berries this year. I've been blogging for a while but I want to devote this one to a new start - one as a brand-new Resident Assistant in college. I'm looking forward to sharing just life and baking posts here because let's be real, that's definitely what goes together. I mean this jokingly and seriously, because I like....life...and baking. See you on Sugar Berries!
