On Hold...

Not so surprisingly, life got very busy and this blog got forgotten about. I won't offer any excuses, I just didn't make time for it. Now, I'm in Stockholm for a semester, and so I won't really be able to bake at all as the kitchen here isn't the best size and paying for new equipment seems like a waste of money? But things may change, who knows!

The baking in Stockholm is incredible however, and so to make up for the fact that this will not have any baked by me content for so long I thought I'd blog my search for the best cinnamon roll (or 'kanelbulle'). I got here just over a month ago and have consumed quite a few of these delicious cinnamony pastries (more than I care to admit...) and I figure I may as well figure out where I can get the best one?

Adjö!

I have a fear of my own kitchen

This is the first post that I have written in a ridiculous amount of time... In all honesty the only reason why is because I've not actually been doing any baking to blog about. Oddly, baking is something I do when I'm stressed, and yet these past few months have been filled with more stress than I could have ever imagined, and no baking has been done. There are definitely a few reasons why this is the case, and these reasons (excuses) are as follows:

1. I can't really afford to bake the nice stuff as I am a lowly, poor student.
2. My kitchen isn't the best. There isn't much space and I only have one mixing bowl, so the whole process can be slow.
3. I have a gas oven. I hate the gas oven.
4. The first thing I tried to bake living here went so horribly wrong that I actually wanted to cry.

All of these are weak reasons I am well aware, however yesterday I had a big spring clean and a new fridge is on the way and I think I feel ready to tackle my fear of that kitchen...

And so here we go again. Hopefully it will be more successful this time. I do miss cake an awful lot...
