Given Up On Baking

Today, 24^th April 2010, I have decided to give up on baking.

Usually, I found extreme pleasure in baking. Whenever I feel stressed, I would bake something.

However, baking has given me numerous disappointments as well.

Most of the time, I bake something, the comments aren’t great. Someone close to my heart once commented that I was a perfectionist.

I don’t really agree with that statement. However, I found it quite true whenever I bake something.

Whenever I try a new recipe, as ridiculous as it sounds, I will always expect it coming out from the oven looking the same as the magazine photograph.

Yes, I know that it takes years and many numerous baking lessons to perfect this skill.

But… Gaahhhh. Every single time a baking failure occurs, I have to gobble up the imperfect cookies/muffins/cupcakes. This sugar intake is really not good for me.

In addition, the amount of money I’ve spent on baking materials has also taken a toll on my savings. For quite some time, I’ve been trying to find a new oven. However, it will cost thousands to get a good oven.

Hence, I’ve decided to give up on it totally.

Goodbye my passion!

Hopefully, I will hang on to this promise that I will stop baking!
