About this Article

Danae Chatel doesn't know how it happened. "I just got bit by the baking bug! Now that I'm old, I put on an apron and things went crazy! I got all domestic and I'm running with it!" she says with a chuckle. (The Hoffman Estates woman just turned 25.) Danae shares recipes for decorated sugar cookies, lemon bars and a chocolatey pecan pie.
