My First Post :)

Ok. So ever since my boyfriend got me the Woman’s Weekly cookies, cheesecakes and cupcakes book, the inner baker in me has emerged.

I cant get enough of baking - when i have the time and money for ingredients that is. Being the poor uni student, money is a little… scarce?

Anyways, after randomly finding the Tartelette blog which led to other brilliant patisserie blogs, i have decided to start my own. I wont lie, i have tried making blogs before, which dont always work out, hopefully my passion for patisserie will allow this blog a longer life time.

It is a dream of mine to maybe one day travel the world, and learn patisserie and then come back to my hometown and set up my own french style patisserie with gorgeous tarts, mouth-watering macaroons, and delicate mini cakes and sweets. I am told that my baking endeavors almost always do work out well, taste wise.. however, i am yet to master the look of my creations and i find that people are unwilling to taste my baked goods if they do not look up to par… in which case, i have to just shove it in their mouths.. Presentation definitely needs some working on.

A little secret about me is that i almost NEVER taste what i make. Crazy yes... instead I select a few people to taste my creations and if the majority love it then i assume it is good. I have no idea why I have no desire to taste the things i make since i am happy to wolf down anything else that is out there, but this is something that i also have to work on to improve.

I have decided to post up pictures of all my baking successes… and failures along with the recipes i have followed!

Enjoy!
