Baking battles

I used to think  baking was easy.. After  all, it is just  measuring  the right  amount /volume  of water/flour/whatever you  want  and placing  it in  the  oven,  right? 

I was wrong.  So, so wrong. 

It is not like Chemistry  class  in  school; there  is just  so much to do, to measure,  to look out for. 

Cooking  is much easier, I realise. 

I was never into confections,  eating or baking, primarily  because  of my allergy to chocolate (tragic) and a fear of weight gain. 

But now I have a Guinea  pig I find I’m  really enjoying the whole process. 

And of course  I’m  glad to make him happy.
