Baking! xx

Hey there beautiful bloggers! Today I'm going to be talking about something I absolutely love: BAKING! Growing up my twin sister Della and I we're always doing creative things with our mum; one of these things being baking. We obviously started off with simple things like fairy cakes and biscuits and we grew from there. If it wasn't for my mum doing these things with me I probably wouldn't have had as much of an interest now.

When you bake you really appreciate the taste of something you made yourself that has fresh ingredients and lovely flavours. You also get the satisfaction that you have made it yourself  and not just got it from a shop. It's also really fun to actually make something from scratch and decorating it! The best part though has to be licking the bowl and eating left over icing!

Baking is just a handy skill to have and the earlier you learn, the better you'll become. To all those people out there who don't really bake or don't really have a interest in it, give it a go, you never know you might surprise yourself!

Here are some picture of things Della and I have baked recently (I would show all the things we've baked over the years but there's too many pictures, I mean I could start off with pictures from when we we're toddlers haha):
