Erica: Hi, Lindsay! Please tell my readers and I a little about yourself and your blog.

Lindsay: Hi everyone! I’m Lindsay, from Life, Love and Sugar. My blog is focused on all kinds of sweet treats, but I have special place in my heart for cake – both for the look and taste. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and would gladly eat dessert first. I live just outside of Atlanta, GA with my husband and black lab. My husband and I actually met back in high school and have been together ever since.

Erica: What’s your basic baking tip you’d like to share with all of us today?

Lindsay: One of my favorite things to use in baking is parchment paper. It’s non-stick, so I use it in the bottom of pans when baking cakes, cheesecakes, brownies, etc. I cut circles for the bottom of my cake pans and then grease the sides and never have trouble with cakes sticking. I also use it when making brownies and have it coming up the sides, so that I can just lift the bars out when they’re cool. It makes cutting so much easier. Plus, the pan is much easier to clean. :) I use it so often, I buy it in bulk at Costco!

Agreed, parchment paper is like no other in a baker’s kitchen! No wonder your cakes always come out so flawless :) Here are a few of Lindsay’s recipes that will have you cutting parchment paper like crazy and making beautiful cakes and brownies like a pro.
