jams vs jellies vs preserves… oh my!
(This one is a little out of order, because I wanted to start with the obvious ingredients first, but you can wait until tomorrow, right? 
)
So, the night of my debut I met a very admirable guy named Robbie who posed an simple yet common question: “what’s the difference between jams and jellies and preserves? I’ve always wondered about that!”
Well my dear Robbie I promised you I would have your answer, AND I will even throw in marmalades and compotes as a bonus just for being the first “reader’s choice” question on the blog, haha.
Day 1: What a Debut!

Recently, I have been helping out behind the bar and watching the store during these events. Tonight happened to be both a concert for an artist, Emily Kate Boyd (who was great) as well as the going away party for a radio personality, our own Leslie Fram from 99x.

Hello…!
Thanks for stumbling upon my contribution to this world
The idea behind CupcakeChemistry is to consolidate answers to basic questions about cupcake making, as well as to record my trials, tribulations, and successes with my own attempts at baking magic!
I guess essentially this will be a depository for my daily adventures as I begin my own business (at age 24) and for random solutions to the obstacles that I encounter along the way. Occasionally, this will be a place to vent (I know how entertaining those are to read).
I hope you enjoy the ride! Please feel free to subscribe because I guarantee you won’t want to miss the next episode!
To Be Continued…!
