Claire's baking blog
Baking has always been a hobby of mine for the past 15 years or so (arguably my only hobby now except TSR) so i d thought i 'd start a blog sharing my recipes and tips, hopefully I can share at least one bake a week if not two.
Why do I enjoy baking you might ask?
For me it's something both my grandmothers taught me and so brings back good memories and secondly I find it incredibly therapeutic as its something I get tasty things out of and a sense of satisfaction.

I'm not much of a baker, so I'll keep my eye on this. I do make rough pastries from time to time. Can you make a good red velvet?
Maybe use spoilers/bold/formatting to make the recipes/blog a little easier to read? Once you have several recipes on a page it makes for a lot of scrolling, especially on a mobile phone! And do include pictures of your finished bakes!! I'd love to see them.

A red velvet is one thing I haven't actually ever baked, although I shall certainly add it to the list of bakes I need to try. I shall have a bit of an edit shortly, I m intending on making this particular recipe this morning so shall add a picture in due course

Lol, some of the people who go on that show are crazy.
So do you have your own style or do you remix your favourites bakes?

Nice, I like remixes, originals are cool but when remixed right, the remixed version can taste miles better than the original.
Good luck, Claire. I do hope we get some pictures of your cakes soon.

I want to start when I go to uni because the kitchen in my current house scares me (cockroaches eughhh)None of my flatmates in halls could bake so I think it's a good way to make friends
students are easily won over with free cake 
I really struggle with baking just because I dont have the patience for it! Everything takes ages, I prefer quicker stuff! I love cakes though, maybe when I own my own home and have a nice kitchen I'll bake more because I think the main problem is my kitchen right now is tiny and old and I don't like being in there very long haha.
