How I Ended Up Behind An Apron...

I'm pretty sure I was looking for something other than studying for that Psychology exam I had the next day. Soon after, baking became an activity that helped curb the stress while allowing me to learn something new every time! What makes it such a great diversion is that it still allowed me to focus and concentrate on my tasks (whisking, measuring etc...) but on a subject completely different than what I was "running" away from. It was a refreshing break for me and the payoff at the end was sweet ;)

 Since then, it has become a part of me and something I identified with. Having had the basic cooking and baking skill surely paid off well when I got married and had to feed not 1 but 2 growling stomachs.

 Cupcakes were my first baking experiments, vanilla cupcakes with chocolate chunks to be exact. I mean who doesn't love cupcakes! They are cute, tiny and adorable and don't get me started with all those fun and colorful cupcake liners! The size aspect attracted me at first since I'm not fond of a lot of sweet desserts *gasp* so the smaller the size the better! I bake for the sake of baking and enjoy the end result and then give the rest to friends and family :)

 Cooking and baking has brought me a raw kind of happiness in my life, part of it has to do with seeing the smiles people have when they first take a bite into the food and the other is about how the method of combining and mixing raw ingredients plays a huge role in determining how the end result turns out, its basically yummy science :P

 I intend to put into writing my journey in the kitchen and share the ups as well as the downs. By sharing the whole process I believe it'll be a genuine and fun experience.

So Let's Get Cracking!
