Baking

After many years, I finally had an oven! Oven was sponsored by my Dad. I will repay him with my baking outputs. When I was younger, my dream is to open a cafe selling my own bake stuff. But as I grew older, this dream is impossible with the harsh reality. Nevertheless, I am happy being a home baker. :)

Been chatting with Waicheng on baking for sometime. Been inspired by her each time she gave us her baked goods to try.  She recommended Joy of Baking. There are demonstration videos attached to each recipe. The step by step demonstrations are really useful for new bakers like me.

For a start, I baked Chocolate Chips Muffins. The recipe is of course from Joy of Baking, The reason I chose to bake that was it does not require an electric mixer. I have yet to buy one. I will get it soon. How can a baker not have an electric mixer! Lots of recipes required that to mix the batter evenly.

Some pics of my baking process:

The batter in the muffin tray, I sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar. Mix cinnamon powder with sugar and you will get a nice mix of cinnamon sugar. Like what the recipe says, it adds a light cinnamon flavoring to the muffins.

Something is baking..

Tadah~ The output~

Enjoy my bake of labor.. Haha~

The muffins tasted better than expected. Does not taste too bad for a new baker, My mom found it too sweet. I shall lessen the sugar level next time. Baking feels like a therapy to me. No matter what the output is like, I know I did my best! It will get better each time. Can't wait for my next baking session. :)

Till next time..
