Original Text
I knew that my magic came in the form of these simple baked goods, but I also knew that simple, approachable, accessible, nostalgic flavors were my best jumping-off place to create new desserts. Almost as though fancy were the enemy of delicious. I’d go to county fairs to nosh. I'd go to the diner and order slices of pie from that revolving display case. I'd take french fries and dip them in chocolate milkshake and dream. And then I'd go into the kitchen and tie on my apron and start mixing up a new creation rooted in something known and safe and loved but reaching far beyond what anyone thought accessible. Or approachable. Or doable.
