Baker Profile: Yvonne Gettins
In the days leading up to CupcakeCampTO, we thought we’d introduce you to our bakers by posting baker profiles…

Yvonne Gettins, Ms. Adventures in Baking
Ever since being taught how to make pastizzi by her great grandmother as a child, Yvonne has loved to bake. It was only in recent years since she began studying part time at George Brown College that it turned from a hobby to an obsession. Yvonne loves to bake so much, that in March 2010, she baked one cookie recipe every day to raise money for the Daily Bread Food Bank!
Every month or so, Yvonne issues herself a challenge to further her baking skills, and blogs these adventures. Of course, being an amateur means that there are lots of misadventures, and Yvonne welcomes the fallen cakes, soggy muffins, and hard-as-rock cookies as opportunities to learn to be a better baker.
Yvonne will be bringing Lemon Luxury cupcakes to this year’s CupCake Camp, an amazing fusion of white chocolate and lemon that is sure to convert you lemon-haters in to lemon-lovers!
