Baking is something that I enjoy to do in my free time. Some of the goodies I like to make include chocolate chip cookies, gooey cinnamon rolls, apple, pecan, blueberry, chocolate, and cherry pie, blueberry muffins, birthday cakes, cupcakes, peach cobbler, and banana bread. I love to bake for my family, special events, and for fun.
Baking can be difficult at times when not following the directions precisely as it is written. I picked up my love for baking from my mom. Every Thanksgiving she cooks a total of seven pies yearly to take to celebrate the holiday. I spent a great amount of time in the kitchen with her helping with this and I believe this is how this interest grew inside of me. In the kitchen was where I quickly realized was my happy place.
For me, baking is a stress reliever and it gives me a peace of mind while doing it. The art of baking is something that I plan to carry with me for many more years to come and eventually show my children how to do it too someday. When paying close attention to the instructions and gathering all of the ingredients needed, baking is a piece of cake.
