Recently I’ve taken up baking as a my new after work hobby (I’ve run out of Lego sets to put together).  It started because I needed something really cheap to give as Christmas presents and figured who doesn’t love baked goods during the holidays.

From there it’s become a monster and I can’t stop baking.  The first baking book I picked up was The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook by Cheryl & Griffith Day.  I adore this cookbook.  After I made several items from this book I then picked up Vintage Cakes by Julie Richardson which is also quite wonderful.

Having following all the directions to the tee I decided I was going to mix and match and come up with my own baked delights borrowing recipes from both cookbooks.  I’ve truly enjoyed my new hobby and have forced my co-workers to partake in my new love for baking.  Thanks guys for being my guinea pigs.
