As a lunatic always on the go baking was something I never had the time for. I knew my mother loved to bake Christmas cakes in particular for all the relations and dad well dad was a fantastic painter. At the age of 28 only in the last few months have I discovered a love in my life that has been missing all along.....BAKING! Mind you not just any kind of baking I love artistic baking. Oil painting is a passion of mine also and now being able to combine food and painting is like a god sent gift.Edible art who would have ever thought :). The sky is the limit as far as ideas, designs and creativity go.
Baking is my form of therapy. I get lost in the mixtures, textures and techniques. For those few hours each day life slows down and the only thing that concerns me is baking. Years ago I tried to make an apple tart which signs on turned out to be something that looked as if it came off a bbq. Simply I was useless. Then one day I baked my first Madeira.
That was it, I was hooked. 1 Madeira turned into 2 - 3 some days. I honestly believe there should be a rehab centre for us therapy bakers. Each day starts with oh what will I bake today? and each night ends with what will I make tomorrow. I've turned into a serial fondant cutter collector which was unexpected to say the least. To my delight I can crack an egg without half the shells falling in no problem. This was something I was very nervous about at the start. Now I could juggle and crack them at the same time :P.
