Recently I've had a bit of a sad because I realised I haven't baked in absolutely bloody ages! Goddamn life for getting in my way! I need to remedy this soon - so I may have a bit of a baking blitz next week!

Does anyone else on here enjoy baking? I love it, as my Mum, her Mum and her Mum were all cooks at local bakeries at one point in their lives, and also worked the school kitchens before they got all... trout (back when school dinners were made properly and not cooked from frozen! ) I kind of consider myself a bit of a fourth generation baker ^.^

I used to take my Gran to this class down at her Church hall called "Bread and Shred" in which (I trout you not) they'd bake cakes, bread and scones, and then shred any documents they had . What can I say, the little old ladies of the village would take up any excuse to get together. I think really it was just the baking class but they wanted it to have an angle or something, and at that time fraud from post theft was kind of a big thing. I digress....

My favourite things to bake are cupcakes for sure! I make really, really great cupcakes! I think my favourite are Lemon and Poppyseed because they're so light and airy and yet so yummy! And I love that speckled look inside of them.

I make a delightful carrot cake, and my Gran recently introduced me to Courgette and Walnut cake which is actually smurfing gorgeous!

I love baking! Who else bakes? What are your favourite things to bake?
