I am a teenager that loves to bake. I bake at least 3 times a week. My mom has told me repeatedly to stop baking because im making everybody fat therefore i TRY to make everything a little bit more healthy. I especially enjoy baking sweets but i also like cooking savoury treats. I also rejoyce in trying new recipes and different techniques. I am all about making everything homemade so i rarely use boxed mixes.
