The Reality of a Baking Beginner.

Inspired by the very popular show British Bake off, I have decided, along with many, to divulge into the world of Baking. An exciting world full of food colouring stained clothes, flour covered surfaces and endlessly sticky fingers-and  it being all worth it in the end when your recipe looks identical to the one in the picture, which you so tirelessly tried to achieve. 

However with me, all of the above is true, expect for the outcome. Lets just say, and my family can definitely vouch for me on this one, that I am not a natural cook, in any sense of the word. If one thing can go wrong, it will certainly for me and none of my attempts seem to look remotely like the picture, let alone edible. 

So many times I have questioned, with help from my family, why I even try. Then I thought I mustn't be alone on this one, although it is impressive of how much of a talent I do not hold, many people struggle endlessly with bog standard baking. 

So this Blog is for the hopeless bakers like me, challenging the so called 'easy' and 'simple' recipes that they all claim to be. Giving tips and guidance and most likely entertainment at the very least- in the hopes that one day I and many like me. will achieve a standard Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood would be proud of.
