I never thought that after my home economics days in school would I bake again, but lately I’ve become a bit of a baker. I’m not sure if it’s the recession or all the baking shows on TV but it has definitely become popular again. The satisfaction, from the smell of the cake baking to tasting the final result, is amazing. Some say baking is a science which is true: too much or too little flour can make all the difference to a flat or well risen cake. Unlike cooking where you can add as little or less of ingredients to your personal taste, baking has to follow the recipe exactly. Now, that can scare some people but believe me baking is fun, very satisfying and easy.
