Baking from a young age

I love baking.  I enjoy cooking, but I love baking.  The simple process of mixing eggs, flour, sugar and butter together and ending up with some delicious cake is a miracle that I will never bore of creating.

It helps if you can lick the spoon too

It helps that I started early.  As long as I can remember I’ve been encouraged to cook.  With our kenwood food mixer (forever to be known as Ken) anything was possible and little arms wouldn’t get worn out mixing.  

The Love of Cooking helped me create tasty things to go in my lunch box and I’m continuing this tradition, although not for my lunch box but my boyfriend’s.

And with inspiration including a Care Bear cake, (which I seem to remember had marbled insides for bear guts) a green crocodile and a spider cake with chocolate finger legs how could I not be a baker?

Here I will share with you the highs and lows as I attempt to keep my boyfriends lunch box full.
