How Do Our Tastes Compare?

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not a pastry chef. I love baking and I do it from scratch. I also love sugar and dessert, and sweet things in general.

But what good does that do you?

My tastes are my own, and probably very different from yours. And since I have no qualifications, the only way to make my otherwise pointless pastry thoughts useful to you is to provide a reference point.

Here you will find all the things I've reviewed, organized by rating.
