First Post

So I enjoy cooking and baking (baking is more fun), and I like to take photos of my creations and post them on my blog, so I've decided to dedicate a blog for all my creations in the kitchen, and leave my other blog for everything else.

More about me. I'm a 22yr old student currently taking a break from study due to medical issues (not fun, let me tell you).
I wouldn't say I grew up in the kitchen, but I do remember helping out my mum in the kitchen when she decided to do some baking. I also remember licking the bowl and spoon clean (which is something I still do now, and which I probably will still do when I'm much older).
When I was still in high school, my mum taught me how to cook spaghetti bolognaise, and for a long time, that was all I could cook. As I got older, I started wanting to cook more, so watched mum in the kitchen, and helped her out a bit with cooking, so I would know how to fend for myself when it became time for me to move out of home.
I've always enjoyed cooking shows from a young age, and still enjoy them now, and I also have a fondness for recipe books, cooking blogs, and recipe websites. I have a folder on my computer, full of links to recipes I want to try out one day, and have many pages ripped out of magazines.
Since moving out of home at 19, I had to fend for myself. Which actually meant cooking for myself. My mum still cooked heaps for me, and when I visited her, she would send me home with leftovers, and ever since I can remember, there has always been bolognaise sauce in the freezer, so all I have to do is cook the pasta on the stove, and defrost and reheat the the sauce in the microwave.
When I was in yr 12, all my friends started turning 18, and since I'm a year younger then them, I couldn't go out and buy them vodka, so I decided to make my friends cupcakes for their birthdays. I started out with packet cake mixes, and had tons of fun, standing in the kitchen, stiring batter, smelling cooking cakes, and waiting for the oven timer to go off, so I can eat a cupcake, hot and fresh straight from the oven. As I got older, I decided to do it the proper way, and bake from scratch. It is so much more fun and enjoyable, and more rewarding at the end, when the cake tastes great, and everyone who eats it approves of your baking skills.
After discovering food blogs last year (and creating an addicting of reading them, and savings recipes), I decided to start taking photos of some of the dinners I cook myself, and more importantly, take photos of my baking goods.
It was just a few days ago I realised my blog was a mixture of everyday life, and cooking, so I decided to make a blog dedicated to my cooking and baking, so here it is.
I know my photos aren't that great, but it's the best I can do with the camera I have. I plan to get a new camera as soon as I get enough money, and then, hopefully I will have much better photos of my cooking creations for this blog.
