Baking is BOMB

So, I'm trying to be more regular with my blogs (because sooooo many people read them, HA!). But really it's more for me. Things have been going pretty great with me so not a whole lot to report on. The dude is absolutely amazing. He is sooo much different than my ex. He fucking dotes over me, what is that!?! Job still sucks (of course) but I make bank there though so I can't complain too much.
So, baking. Why is that my title for this post? Because I'm so fuuuucking passionate about it! That is definitely a huge hobby of mine, only made greater by my recent Christmas present. I got this BEAUTIFUL KitchenAid mixer. It's dark blue and it makes everything so much easier to make! Baking has always been a passion of mine. I love how everything about baking comes down to an exact science. If you don't have an ingredient at the right temperature, it could completely change the outcome of your baked good. For example, if you use melted butter for cookies, your cookies will be flatter and misshapen but if you use cool, room temperature butter, your cookies will be uniform and fluffy. 
I prefer baking over cooking because cooking can take you hours to cook something that will take you 15 minutes to eat but baking can take you hours to bake something that will take you a week to eat. Not to mention, it is the ultimate comfort food. Who doesn't like some OG chocolate chip cookies? Monsters, that's who! Of course, baked goods aren't exactly healthy for you so it's important to find some skinny "victims" in which you can push your baked goods on. I have a handful of people that get a portion of my baked goods when I've baked a project. It's a win win for both of us. They get free, delicious baked goods and I get to get rid of the temptation!
Since I got my KitchenAid, I've been working on trying out different recipes and fine-tuning my skills. My goal is to be able to bake as a second job on the side. I haven't gone public or anything yet because I want to perfect my skills before I try to push my products on people. I've never done much for decorating before so I've been working on trying to perfect that, along with figuring out the right temperature for the right amount of time. I've also switched to using my Instagram primarily for just baking, look it up: NikkiG126!
Another great benefit of baking is baking bread! There is nothing more satisfying than beating up some dough. Towards the end of my relationship, I was always tense and angry (never stay in a relationship that makes you feel that way). Whenever it got especially bad, I made bread. I would knead and knead the bread until I had worked through my frustrations. Not to mention, all that labor actually leaves you feeling really good about yourself later on.
So, in conclusion. Fuck cooking, it sucks and is a waste of time. Bake if you want to make something actually worthwhile. =P
