This year has been a tough one to say the least. It has had some wonderful highs and some lows deeper than ever. This blog is an overview of the year so I can log my triumphs and find hope in the year to come. We all experience different ways of life. Some will struggle and some will strive during different times throughout the year. We will experience loss, grief and positivity at times during achievements in education, work life and then when we lose family, friends and possessions. Life is full of twists, turns, bumps and smooth patches.
One thing we have done this year is try new food and sweet treats. I love spontaneously deciding to bake some goodies ready for my partner and Mum to come back from work and try them out. I often try out new ideas and recipes when I’m on my own in case they don’t work out. It’s fun seeing what does and doesn’t work well in the hope of discovering new awesome recipes and treats. Some fail badly and some are super wonderful! It’s all about trial and error.
Starting with Viennese whirls; Jam and butter cream and biscoff too!
I’ve always loved making cookies but never thought to try out other biscuity treats so when I thought of making these viennese whirls I was super excited. I soon found out that you have to get the baking time just right otherwise they will either be too soft, too hard or crumbly. It’s a trial and error type method with these, but they always taste so delicious. Getting the mixture the right consistency is vital to as piping them onto the baking sheet can prove difficult if it is too thick. Get it just right and you’ll be left with gorgeous bite sized treats.
Trying out doughnuts was super fun but quite difficult! Just like the viennese whirls, you have to get the mixture consistency right and then you have to cook it for a precise amount of time to ensure you cook it all the way through but don’t overcook!
Making doughnuts require attention and alertness. Deep frying can be tricky but super fun. Watch out for the little spits of hot oil. Take care and precaution. If you do them correctly, you’ll have super tasty treats! If you don’t succeed first time just keep trying. Tasty Perfection takes time.
After years of making cakes of all sizes, flavours and consistencies we have finally found our perfect recipe! We have perfected our sheet cakes and have tried so many different flavours and toppings. It has been so much fun to make them again and again for ourselves, special occasions and for loved ones for Christmas and Halloween.
Below is a list of my gratitude towards 2019. The list is based on what I’m grateful for, the people in my life and the lessons I have learnt. Being grateful is a wonderful feeling and recognising your gratitude from painful situations can shed some inner emotions you didn’t think were there. Things have been tough, but I am grateful for what I have learnt and continue to find some positives in a field of negativity.
Here you can feel comfortable, welcomed and safe. Feel free to comment, like and share or just simply pass by and check out the posts that suit your taste.
Thank you for your support. Have a great day
Stay wonderful!
