Baking has become my self-care

Recently I have got myself back into baking and trying to perfect all of my recipes in my baked good such as cookies, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, rolls, and more to better myself as a baker. The decoration of the cake “especially icing it” has been my biggest challenge and to be completely honest I am pretty proud of myself with this one. With more repetitiveness and practice I’ll eventually get the hang of it.
