A Brief Biography of an Aspiring BakerHello readers of Boston Bakes! Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Jenna Greenberg and I am a twenty year old student living in the heart of downtown Boston. As a student technically I am studying Writing, Literature and Publishing, however as a general 20 year old I am studying a lot of things on my own in order to learn who I am and what I am passionate about. One of the things I have discovered is that I absolutely love to bake. My passion for food is as strong, if not stronger, than my passion for writing so I thought what better way to combine two of the things I adore most in the world than into a food blog?
