My name is Sydney, and welcome to my blog. Many of you may be wondering why I chose my blog's title, "The Cupcake Diet." Well, the first reason is because pretty soon I'm gonna be making cupcakes for a living - no joke! I've been very busy starting up my own business called angelcakes, a home-based bakery that makes 100% natural vegan cupcakes. So I will be using this blog partly to document my cupcake (mis)adventures.
You also may have noticed that I threw the word VEGAN in there (*gasp*). Yes, I am indeed a vegan, and so are my decadent and delicious cupcakes. However, I strongly feel that being vegan does not mean missing out on all the good stuff out there! I want to share with everyone how delicious being vegan can be!
So would you like to learn more about me??
Well, I am 21 years old and I just graduated this past spring from the University of Kentucky. I love everything about UK & I really do "bleed blue."
While at UK, I earned my undergraduate degree in dietetics. This is how I became so fascinated with nutrition. It just amazes me every day how important of a role food plays in our bodies and our daily lives. I always strive to eat as healthy as I possibly can, and I love every second of it. (No, actually, I don't feel deprived at all!)
While at UK, I was also a member of the swimming and diving team for all 4 years. I've been swimming ever since I was little, and it has truly become a part of who I am.

Being an athlete has opened so many doors for me, and I am very thankful for that. Everything related to sports and fitness interests me, and (now that I'm a retired swimmer) I am eager to try out some new things!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog :)
