Mind Map for Magazine Cover

The string of thoughts that I found most interesting was baking.  I'm thinking of this time of the year, fall, I really bake a lot and the whole house is filled with smells of spices and sweets.  Maybe I can also take another spin on baking, like baking in the college years or something like that to set my magazine apart from the ones that are already out there.
