Why hello there, and welcome to Torts & Tarts! My name is Julianne and I’ll be your hostess. Thanks for stopping by! Pull up a chair and let me tell you a bit about myself and about this place.
Basically, my life’s dream is to open a bakery. Unfortunately, I have neither the financial means nor the early-rising tendencies necessary for such an endeavor. I graduated college in 2007 with the vague notion that I would go to law school at some point, but definitely not right away and preferably not anytime soon. After spending two years doing what my mother called “frittering my life away” and I called “having an awesome time” (translation: baking, traveling, impulsively moving to Australia, etc.) I decided it was time to pick a career. And so I made the fateful decision between law school and culinary school. And I picked law school. Was it the right choice? Time will tell. But I still love baking, and cooking, and hosting parties, and until the day when I’ve paid off my student loans and saved up enough money to open a real place, this blog will be my virtual bakery-cum-cafe-cum-salon. I’ll post recipes, pictures, baking tips, decorating ideas, restaurant reviews, product reviews, and any other random thing I feel like posting. I promise the legalese will be kept to a minimum, with the exception of gratuitous legal puns which only law students find funny and of which I am exceedingly fond (e.g. Torts and Tarts).
So take a seat, get comfortable, and let’s see what’s on the menu. What say you we skip dinner and head straight to dessert…
