So today is my first post. I am going to make a serious effort at this blogging thing... for now anyway. It's not that I don't think there aren't enough blogs out there about baking or dessert; I know I am adding to an already over-published subject. This blog is for me, more than anyone else.
At the moment, I am a home baker. I bake a lot. Constantly. At least one loaf of bread each weekend, in addition to as many cupcakes and assorted pastries as I think that my husband will tolerate. Don't get me wrong, he loves my baked goods, but he is fighting the good fight against potentially expanding waistlines. I give as much as possible to my neighbors, constantly fearing that with this next plate of cupcakes, instead of thanking me, it will be thanks but no thanks, we have had enough.
While I have always enjoyed baking, over the past year I have learned that it is one of my true passions. It is a hobby now, but I am hoping that some day it could become something more than that. I plan to use this blog as a way for me to record what it is that I am baking, keep track of my progress, and seek advice from any fellow bakers who happen to stumble across my posts.
To start, I will mostly be sampling recipes that others have created, always sourced to give credit where credit is due. Hopefully, I will at some point feel comfortable enough with my own experimenting that I will begin to share recipes I have crafted myself.
Off to separate some eggs. We have been invited to a barbecue this weekend, and I have been tasked with dessert. I will be making my first attempt at macarons, as well as preparing mini-cheesecakes and some type of cupcake. Results to be posted in a few days.
