I was inspired to start this blog by my new found love of baking. The reason I chose the name 'Tart Baby' is because those are the two things that currently occupy my life. I am staying home with my amazing six month old son while I try to become a better baker.

I decided to start small with this first post. I chose something everyone loves, brownies. Even if they don't turn out perfectly, they will still be delicious! I tend to like standard recipes with a twist and this one is no exception. These are rootbeer brownies, taken from a recipe found at www.bakingbites.com. The recipe yielded moist, flaky brownies with a subtle rootbeer flavor that becomes more pronounced the longer the brownies sit.

I would recommend using a very strong root beer, like Barq's or Buffalo Rock. The natural Hansen's soda I used didn't result in a very strong root beer flavor. This would also be fun with a ginger beer!
