Dear Nana

I started baking because of my Nana and later found out that it helps me out of my deep rooted sadness.. When the room is filled with the smell of vanilla, and I get ready to top the cupcakes with icing and heart shaped sprinkles, my heart flutters and I feel a sudden rush of gratitude and love. And when I see how much happiness they bring other people, It just makes my entire day.

Its the simple things in life that are worth living for. Like cupcakes.

This is for my Nana, who continues to inspire me in whatever I do.
