My Passion... Baking!!!

I wanted to share something with you guys that would maybe help you get to know me a little bit. My passion in life is baking. I love being able to take a cake and turn it into something really beautiful, or different. Baking is also some what therapeutic for me. When I have a flair up from my arthritis and my joins are hurting, and my body is tired, I like to go to the kitchen and bake. It takes my mind off of the pain for a little while, and thinking of ways to create something from the cake helps defog my brain for a bit. My boyfriend, family, and friends have bought me all sorts of things to encourage me to keep baking. Last Christmas my boyfriend Erik bough me an electric mixer, so I didn't have to use my hands. My mother-in-law is always gifting me really neat things like silicone cupcake liners, baking trays, decorations, and baking cook books. My mom is always buying me new stuff! Just a few weeks ago she bough me a pie pop maker. You take pie crust, cut it into little circles, put your filling on one of the circles, cover with another circle  seal and place in the machine. They turn out to be little itty bitty pies, and they are really yummy!!

I want to share with you just a few of my creations!! Let me know what you think.
