It's just Kitchen Science!
Welcome to my baking website! Baking can be intimidating if you're new to it, but once you have an understanding on how the ingredients work together, it becomes like an exciting science experiment! A lot of people think it's super complicated with all the fancy terms, but it's mainly about following a simple plan to make things happen with your ingredients. This site is where I'm sharing what I've learned to make the whole process much easier. I want to show you exactly how everyday stuff like flour, eggs, and sugar work together to make things fluffy, chewy, or crispy. I'm focusing on the basics and explaining why we do each step, not just what to do. Once you get those simple ideas, you won't just be reading a recipe; you'll actually understand it. So, let's have some fun. We're going to prove that anyone, even total beginners, can bake something delicious and homemade!
