Bake It List

So it’s November 30 which means it’s the last day of this NaBloPoMo nonsense. YES. I mean, it’s fun, but kind of ridiculous.

In an effort to not be that girl who only posts during the eleventh month, I thought I could keep a list of things I’d like to bake, which would hopefully lead to writing about them. Right now I only have a few ideas there (and mostly Milk Bar recipes, surprise), but it will definitely keep growing. It’s its own page right up there next to the Bucket List of restaurants.

Yes, I do realize that this is what Pinterest is for, but I hate it.

Also, that is my little cookbook collection, minus a couple ice cream books. The majority of those books were given to me as I tend to mostly look for recipes online, so only a few really get used. If you have any cookbook musts for someone who likes to cook with lots of veggies and bake, I’m all ears.

Four.

I did not make this vegan confetti cupcake, but Capital City Bakery did.

When I started this blog, I didn’t really have any purpose other than to document my baking adventures. And that’s fine. Do I really need a niche? No. It was never my intention to attract brands and try to turn this thing into a living, which might be a healthy mindset to have when there are so many good blogs out there.

It makes sense, but I quickly learned that it’s easy to befriend other bloggers through blogging. It’s like having a virtual support group that provides encouragement through comments and social media. As a shy person who’s always felt more outgoing behind a screen, this satisfied a bit of the longing to interact with people, but from a safe distance.
