Baking is a Therapy

 

When I am feeling sad... I start to cook and bake. I feel happy when I am baking...

When I was young, I had always been wanting to bake cakes, cookies, tarts, etc. However, last time how could I afford to have an oven, thus just baking cake in the air...

Last year, bought a conventional oven, however had not had any chance of using it till recently when I was back in Singapore.

This was my first attempt in baking...Chocolate Chip Brownie!!!

As I did not understand the baking instruction, e.g preheat oven?, did not know how to use the oven, no proper baking utensils, most of all I am stupid hahaha~, thus top layer became volcano eruption and got burnt, and in the center, like lava, thus kept taking it out and checked then put it in again, in the end supposed to be baking brownie, became cake-like brownie. hahaha~ still edible.

My second attempt was baking wild berry muffin. Final product turned out to be quite good and encouraging.

Then I tried to bake chocolate chip cookies.

Supposed to have 36 2inch cookies, not giant cookies...errhhh...never knew that they expanded !!! I should have separated and baked in 2 rounds.

Supposed to be chocolate chip cookies and not chocolate cookies...errhhh...as when time was up, I touched the cookies, still very soft, thought that they were not cooked, thus extended the time again, and again, never knew that when the cookies were cool, they harden..hahhaha~

Bought a mixer few days ago. Last night, I tried to bake a lemon cake, ended up another volcano eruption again. hahaha~ turned it over and spread the icing sugar on top. Though the end product did not look alike with the picture on the box but still can eat lah~ hahaha~
