CAKE ON THE BRAIN: ABOUT

I'm Cakebrain.
I like cake.
I like to bake cakes, design cakes and eat cake.
I think about cake. Quite a bit.
Because I love all the above, my life revolves around running on my treadmill and employing my "total gym" as much as I can to "support my habit" (ie. maintain my girlish figure)!
I have Cake on the Brain. Welcome to my food blog.

This blog is about a dream: to have the perfect recipes for every type of cake I love.
I hate it when recipes don't work and I tell it like it is when I've tested a recipe.  I own a kajillion cookbooks and cooking magazines, too much bakeware and a myriad of kitchen gadgets.

*June 2011 update: I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and will be embarking on a new culinary journey that will see me try to avoid foods that may trigger thyroid issues: cruciferous veggies, soy products and gluten are some of the foods that have been purported to have a negative effect on thyroid health. I only have half a thyroid left so I'd like to try to keep it as healthy as possible without drugs. Because I love cake, I'll be adding a new section to my food blog where I'll document my successes and failures with Gluten Free cake and dessert recipes.

Though "Cake on the Brain" is a food blog primarily focussed on my love of cake, I also have a predilection to eating out. I am a Vancouverite on a quest in my local restaurants for some of my favourite dishes. Here on this page you will find a list of my current favourite places to find my favourite dishes in Vancouver. My search for perfection is never-ending and if there isn't a restaurant listed it's because I'm still undecided. The restaurants listed are the best of a bunch I've tried so far but I'll have you know that doesn't mean things can't change...leave a comment to point me in the right direction.

I'm not for carrying my huge Nikon around and pointing it at my food in restaurants ~~so you won't be finding any pictures on my blog about these dishes.~~  but I have a new iPhone4 which is making it more discreet for me to "Foodspot" what I eat around Vancouver! The following is my To-Do List. I'll update this list periodically. Maybe. Well, whenever I have time.

BY THE WAY, I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH COPYCAT SITES WITH THE SAME NAME AS MINE THAT MAKE AND SELL CAKES. I hope the karma police catch them. I do not sell cakes online and I do not appreciate people profiting from my good name. I have only one foodblog site and that's this one.
