Do you also bake to relax after a long day or week?
Baking can be as fun and relaxing as it can be stressful. On the one hand, you can spend hours in the kitchen alone, coming up with new recipes and mixing delicious flavours for your friends and family to try out. It’s entertaining and exciting! On the other hand, ingredients don’t always cooperate with us and our fantastic ideas.
Sometimes flour seems to come to life and get EVERYWHERE. There isn’t a spot in the kitchen that doesn’t turn white after it jumps all over every surface. The oven tends to act out as well once in a while. He’s working perfectly fine until suddenly one day he decides not to do his job and stop actually cooking what you put inside. And don’t get us started on those days when the baking powder gets lazy and doesn’t make our cakes fluffy. And at some point we all mistook the sugar for the salt. Interesting way to put flavor into our chocolate cake.
Even with all the potential mess-ups, we still love the feeling of prepping something delicious for ourselves and our loved ones. Baking is one of the love languages we first learned to speak, and the one we keep turning towards when all else fails. Need to apologize for a mistake? Give the person cinnamon rolls. Don’t know what to give your friend for their birthday? Make them the birthday cake yourself! Want to make your partner feel special? A fresh batch of homemade cookies will do the trick.
We discovered our passion while watching shows like Bake-Off or Cake Boss. I swear, Buddy Valastro’s giant themed cakes live in our minds rent-free. Our dream is to finally one day quit our day jobs and get a bakery of our own, a business that doesn’t only care about the money, but about connecting with customers and giving them exactly what they dream of in a dessert.
