My little blog.....and What Katie is baking this week

I had a few minutes betw ganaching een to update my blog and share with you "What Katie is Baking" this week. This week I am thrilled to be preparing Amaya's First ever Birthday Cake, it is a huge honour as she will have photos of this baby for many years.

You would never think I (of all people) lack confidence in my own abilities, you would think I would be the confident one being the extravert unfortunately self-doubt is one skill that I have mastered over 27 years of life. So with that I am impressed/surprised/dumb founded that this little blog, which really was a collection of thought and family cooking adventures has taken a life of its own with nearly 1300 page views.
The last few weeks I have been approached by a few people wanting to do baking classes with me, people requesting I make them cookies and cake pops and send them to Sydney, and more cake orders than I have time for. I am truly flattered......chuffed at how my little hobby is slowly growing into a passion that is also inspiring others to have a hobby, a creative outlet, even if it isn't baking!

I am excited to see where this leads me, this week as mentioned I have my nieces birthday cake, however next week I am started iced cookies inspired by some email exchange from some friends in Sydney. Well if they successful she may just receive her cookies in the post. I will also be kicking off my "Katie's Macaroon Adventure", I have more ganache than I know what to do with, so I figure they are the perfect compliment to macaroons.

I am also super excited, my new baking books arrived from book depository, excited to test out some new ideas and skills.

Take a look at Amaya's cake in the making, as you can see the brief was extremely prescriptive....the colours look amazing, as for the final product you will all have to wait until after the party tomorrow.

Happy Baking
