I bake a lot. No, not that kind of baking, but food. Its a great stress reliever for me, and secretly, I am a 40 year old mom. I bake about 3 times a week and I am very particular about what I listen to. Often, there is no common theme in these songs that I can articulate, but me baking in the kitchen also doubles as karaoke. I make sure my roommate is gone, and I sing (terrible!) impersonations at the top of my lungs. It is definitely NOT the crowning achievement of my impeccable taste, but rather fun, silly and full of songs that I really get into.

tracklist

1 Prince : Kiss
I almost always kick off my baking sessions with this song. I preheat the oven, get ready for some delicious cookies and put the right emphasis on "KISS!" For an easy treat that looks nice on a plate, simply press hershey kisses onto your favorite sugar cookies immediately after you take them out of the oven and when they cool, the kisses will be stuck to them, and it will be fabulous.

2 The Notorious B.I.G. : Big Poppa
Admittedly, my karaoke baking game doesn't always bring out my best taste. I just love getting my pimp on and repeating the line " I see some ladies tonight that should be havin' ma baby...baby..."

3 CSS : Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex
I would be better at singing this song if I could speak Portuguese. Also, I don't have any brazilian recipes, which I should change.

4 Lifter Puller : Roaming the Foam
Your cokey kisses taste like black ice, they taste like BLACK ICE! On the other hand, my cupcakes taste like the perfect balance of chocolate and mint with a light powdered sugar frosting, topped with peppermint bits. Plus, this a song that is totally meant to be yelled.

5 Sage Francis : Crack Pipes
I always play a little game with myself and see how many words I can keep up with and get right in a row. I don't do crack while I bake (that would be a disaster) but I have been known to make my best creations while high.

6 Jurassic 5 : High Fidelity
My brother and I used to play this game in the car where we would take turns rapping songs without the music. This was one that we always did, and naturally, I usually won. It lends itself well to my kitchen.

8 MSTRKRFT : Monster hospital (Metric Remix)
I like this much better than the original. I practice doing my sexy, apathetic voice while I make cake-batter chocolate-chip cookies. So easy, just add 2 eggs and 1/4 cup oil to a yellow cake mix. Its hard to mix, because it becomes doughy, so add just one ingredient at a time. Add chocolate chips, bake for 8 minutes at 350, and viola, the best cookies ever.

10 The Smiths : The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
I have spent years trying to perfect my Morrissey wail. My best friend always tells me that it sounds like I am trying to yodel, so I guess that I have some more work to do.
