Now where to start...

2012 starts with a good selection of baking books and they are pretty much dedicated to cakes so I have no excuse and no reason to say I have no idea what to bake.

It will probably take the whole year to get through all of these..... now where to start??

The baking history of Fav...

I really love baking and seem to be OK at doing it whenever I manage to have some time to attempt something. So my cakes come out a little bit lopsided and I'm not the best at decorating them but on the whole they are tasty. My baking skills have only expanded to cupcakes and the odd Victoria Sponge but fingers crossed 2012 is going to be my year of baking.

2011 saw the attempts of...

Chocolate Sponge cake with added sprinkles. 

Attempt at making a giant cupcake from one of those silicone cases...not so great.

Victoria Sponge with added summer berries...looked OK until the juices started to run :(

Chocolate Fudge Cake.

White chocolate and raspberry brownie.

A really bad attempt of macaroons...and a rubbish picture.

Rocky Road Muffins.

Just an example of the things that I made throughout the year, I did try Bakewell Tarts and some different variations of cupcakes. Just not enough photographic evidence.

Hopefully throughout this year I am going to widen my skills and try baking lots more that I haven't done before...have a massive pile of books next to my bed with labels sticking out with all the recipes I would like to try.

Also have a great book on how to decorate cupcakes as well so would like to give that ago, get the proper tools and maybe even go on an icing course. Who knows what the baking year of 2012 may bring...
