Baking

Not sure when I started falling in love with baking. I think it was back in university? I just started making this and that, it was fun. I like to bake because it's simple, just stick it into the oven when I'm done putting everything together. It helps me de-stress myself (crazy university days), makes me happy and I enjoy that peace and quiet. I wanted to cook but I'm afraid of fire and oil. I have cooked before and I think it tastes good. If my brother eats it then it should be good LOL!

I'm a perfectionist in some way so when I bake or do my arts and craft it has to be good and meet my standards. I won't let people try my food if I don't think it's good. I have high expectations for myself in a good way. =)

The reason why I love my job is because I get to bake. I like it when coworkers love my baking. Always praise me on how good it is. They always say I should make them everyday. =) I wish but I'm quite busy at work nowadays. =( Today, one of the guy said he likes it when I bake. Makes me happy. =) I actually stopped baking for awhile. I felt lazy and didn't want people to think I have nothing to do when I actually have work to do. I started again because I don't feel lazy anymore after what happened recently.

I will never bake when I'm unhappy because I feel like my unhappiness will affect the result. I remember the first few days after my vacation I was asked to make cranberry bundt cake for trainings. Not just one but two... I was not in the mood, still unhappy about something. I had no choice but to make it. I guess I could have said no, I think my manager will understand? I didn't say anything though. I hope the cakes tasted ok.

My manager made a nickname for me (everyone at work has different nicknames for me), accountant baker. She said I'm so precise when I bake. I'm not that precise, sometimes I just eyeball the amount or put in whatever amount I want. I always adjust the recipes to what I think is the best. Like today... I added more sugar to my scones than the recipe. That's because the strawberries weren't as sweet as I thought. Can't stick to the recipe sometimes, need to make changes.

Random moment, found out something, actually felt a heart ache. =(

The dough, a bit sticky.

Made it into a heart shape, couldn't find other cookie cutters at work, just <3.

It has a softer inside than the other scones I've tried but I like it.
