My name is Natalie but most of the Internerd knows me as Bake and Destroy - baker, blogger, Slater. By day I work in communications for 2007's Green Business of the Year - by night I bake the cakes that make the whole world sing.
I'm married to a dude who makes me laugh every single day. I wouldn't want to watch UFC pay-per-views with anyone else but him. Together with our little boy, Teno, we live in Chicago - the greatest city on Earth. Home of deep dish pizza, the Bears and some of the yummiest bakeries this side of Paris.

And I recently launched The Donut Database, just doing my part to help the masses find the donuts.
