I've been bitten by the baking bug again...
I'm a terrible cook. I'll hold my hands up to that. If I ever had a superpower I'd be Bland Woman, with the unerring ability to take any recipe, use any amount of spices and herbs, and make my creations taste bland. I really don't know how I do it.
But I'm an okay baker! I'm not very good with the presentation skills, so my creations rarely look especially elegant (last week I tried piping icing from a bag for the first time - I had icing up to my elbows!) but they always taste good.
I used to bake a lot, but then I started on my weight loss kick and stopped for a good few years. But here I am almost six stone later, and I figure I can let myself bake again now! The only drawback is that I only allow myself to bake on Sundays, so I can take the results into work and not have an entire weekend of cake taunting me.
Today's creations are apple cinnamon ring cake with a caramel glaze, and mini chocolate cherry bun cakes. I make some apple danishes yesterday, but I left them in the oven too long and they burned. Sadface.
