I didn&#8217;t have any great cake recipes on hand, so I wanted to create a systematic catalog that could be a kitchen reference in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An online recipe resource may have been the initial objective but we think Ming achieved a highly stylized website with a clean and modern site design. Each creation jumps off the page making it as much a treat for your eyes as the recipes are for your tummy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I wanted the site to look clean and simple, so I used a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/support\/yola-style-guide\">basic template<\/a>, and laid out the recipes and photos as if they were pages from a cookbook.  I was happy with how the site looked, but in order to make it more user-friendly, I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/customer-support\/p\/adding-editing-content\/blog-pages\/tutorial-blogging-with-yola\/7\/33\/487#a1\">blog feature<\/a> to add a text component and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/customer-support\/p\/adding-editing-content\/rss-feed\/231-adding-an-rss-feed\/7\/49\/112\">allow people to subscribe<\/a>.  I found Yola&#8217;s interface to be very straightforward for a new blogger, and I have had great customer service experiences with the Yola team.<\/em>\u2014Ming Thompson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Ming Makes Cupcakes by YolaSites, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/mingmakescupcakes.yolasite.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4022\/4543856182_1861fcb50a.jpg\" alt=\"Ming Makes Cupcakes\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Want to see your site featured here?
