These are how many recipes we have under each category so far here in Bakespace. Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that the dessert category wins by a mile with the most number of recipes submitted, but I figured one more wouldn’t hurt. My girlfriend Nancy is a dessert specialist and I can never resist her Caramel Heavenlies! Everytime she makes these, I tell myself just one piece, but always end up eating at least 3…yes, it’s that good!
