Baking

For a long time baking is something I attempted to do every so often. It is also something I would fail at every time I tried. Little did I know the importance of measuring out ingredients exactly, and sticking to the recipe. Once you realise that, baking is actually incredibly easy.

I started baking a lot more after losing Ben. It was something productive to fill my days with. Since then I have become better and better, I have actually impressed myself. I have now began to get orders, and it has become a way for me to make money whilst having a positive and productive distraction from whatever else I may be dealing with!

My favourite thing to make is actually brownies, probably because they are my favourite thing to eat. Despite this my specialty seems to have become cupcakes, as this is what people place the most orders for. Making cakes and decorating them to me is very therapeutic, it  is calming and easy to focus on 100%. Testing out different recipes over the past few months and making them so often that I now know them from memory has been hugely enjoyable. Mainly because it meant I got to sample each recipe for myself, but that is besides the point…

I recently made a facebook page for my cakes which you can find here:

Now I know to many this probably seems like the most boring post in the world. Yet I will post it because this is something that has helped me to cope during an incredible difficult time, and I feel it is important for us to share our coping mechanisms, so as to help each other!
