I have a small confession. I think I am getting disenchanted with baking. You may GASP in horror! I know...I did too. Baking isn't an adventure for me anymore. Did I spread myself too thin and try too hard? Maybe. Don't get me wrong-- I still enjoy to bake and cook but do I think about it day in and day out? Not anymore.
For instance-- My husband's birthday was a week ago. I originally wanted to make an epic Little Big Planet cake with little characters and lots of colors. I procrastinated on it. Instead of being filled with inspiration and passion to create it, I instead put it off and never did it. I instead made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and almonds around the edge.
I was a bit disappointed in myself. In fact, I have been for quite some time. It just seems like I'm not putting my heart into anything I bake anymore. I made a cheesecake a few days ago and it cracked. I've lost my touch!
What have I been doing lately? Been busy with college homework. I've also been craving photography. THAT is what I think about. THAT is what I want to come home and do for an hour every night. It's an every day want --and I think that says something.
For now, I'm gonna play it cool when it comes to baking. I'll take it easy and work my way back into baking. Perhaps I need a new muse. Maybe candy or fudge? I want to make a fudge that isn't grainy or overpowering. I have yet to taste the perfect fudge.
Sam and I are headed home for the weekend. Im very excited to see family and to hang out. My mom and I will be matting some of my photography. I hope to sell a few shots. It would really boost my confidence in my art. Perhaps it would be the push I need to get out there and show my stuff in stores and galleries.
I hope you are doing well!
Until next time,
me.
