About Me

Hello! Welcome to ever butter baking!

​

     In case you are wondering about the name, here's the story behind it.

     First, my mother trained my tastebuds well with her buttercream frosting. I now despise the taste of shortening and ALWAYS use butter in my baking, especially frostings. I do have a love for coconut oil, and use it in quite a few recipes, but "ever coconut oil" doesn't have the same ring to it. The second part of this is the play on University of Rochester's (which is where I originally went to college) motto, Meliora, which means Ever Better.

​

Now, about me:

     I'm Emily and I'm a junior at Cornell University double majoring in Psychology and Music with a minor in Cognitive Science. I mainly conduct music cognition research, but I also sing in the Cornell University Chorus, play piccolo in the Big Red Marching Band, play flute in the Chamber Flute Ensemble, and am a member of various honors organizations like Psi Chi and Golden Key.

     Cornell is a wonderful place, but it can get quite stressful at times. So hence, I stress bake. A lot. This is good news for my friends who are stressed and like stress eating. I also procrasti-bake a good amount, and this all has led me to be the Resident Mom Friend.

So thank you for finding my blog, and enjoy the recipes and reviews!
