I bake. I'm a baker. I love to bake. No cooking though. Hate to cook. For the longest time I couldn't really figure it out - why I loved to bake but hated to cook. I mean really, what's the leap? Ingredients mixed together, put in a hot oven, people eat it. But then I realized that I'm not that into food - eating it, I mean - but I AM into sweets. LOVE to eat sweets! For me, the end results of cooking just aren't worth the hassle, but the end results of baking! Now that's worth it!
I've started a baking business. Tastes of Eden has been launched! (I was going to name it "Taste of Eden" - singular - but Greg said it sounded like the title of a porn movie.) Baking for the people at Emma's school for years has finally paid off (sort of). Word got out around the holidays about my baking and people actually started paying me for my services. What a hoot! Now, I'm in a place with it where I'm trying to figure out how to proceed. The holiday baking boom is over and how do I parlay it into the rest of the year? I'm thinking about Etsy and using Facebook to begin marketing myself for long distance business. It's nerve racking and exciting at the same time.
I'm also thinking of starting a new blog dedicated to the baking side of my personality. Recipes, anecdotes, ideas, discussions....we'll see. Could be fun!
