Summer

As my summer project brief was baking related I ended up spending about 80% of my summer in the kitchen trying new recipes. I love everything cake related so I thought that creating a book about this would be an easy task and pretty much a dream come true. I made a list of about 100 recipes that I wanted to try and make however I was a little too ambitious and tried less than half of these. At first I started off steady and baked something roughly once a week however I realised that this wasn't going to give me enough content for my book so I decided to up this to 3/4 times a week which my family were pleased about. However after a while I began to get bored and was baking because I needed to not because I wanted to and something I usually do to relax became a stressful task. I decided from the start that I wanted to take pictures of the ingredient as well as the final outcome therefore the pressure was on to make the ingredient look appealing and by the time I had done this I was bored and couldn't be bothered baking anymore. I stuck it out and persevered with it in order to get the content I needed, however I haven't done any baking since and think it will be a while until I do any again.  Despite getting a bit bored of doing so much baking I did enjoy developing a project on something I am passionate about and once I am over my hatred towards baking I'd love to do work related to it again.
