The Baking Bunch

I'm starting this after spending some time researching blogs for a university paper and wanted to give it a go myself. I've always thought, what on earth would I have to write about that would be of any interest to myself, let alone anyone else? But, in the past 6 months I have had a new interest in baking - mostly experimental but largely successful - and thought that sharing the progress of this could be interesting, at least for myself. I hope to track my metamorphosis from rookie cookie baker to amateur chef. I read an article in the Times some time ago about a cake club in London and thought it looked like something that would be exciting to be a part of. I can't find the original article just now but here is a link to another one. However, I also think I would at least need some confidence in my basic ability to bake first, so here is the diary of that process. My ultimate goal would be to build to a point where I would have the confidence to be in such a club. Well, actually my ultimate aim is to live in London, which is the main precursor to joining a baking bunch. That's what my club would be called - the baking bunch!
