If you are new here, welcome!  If you've been here before, welcome back!  More importantly, thanks for coming back!  

I started this blog in 2009 with the intention of meeting new people in the San Francisco Bay Area who have the same love of baking and sharing said baked goods as I have.  I started by sharing recipes and meeting some awesome local people.  I got moving and interned at a local bakery.  Then I got shaking and went to pastry school.  And along the way, I neglected this little home of mine that I had taken so much time to build and make mine.  

So now I'm rebuilding.  Starting to share again and reconnect.  I'm on Twitter: @allison_d.  I can also be reached here: allison@bakeyourheartout.com.
