Snowflake Challenge, Day 7

In your own space, share something non-fannish about yourself. A passion or a hobby or a talent, something that people might not know about you. We are more than just our fandoms. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I've been sitting here for a while now wondering what to write. The thing is, I talk about everything that I do in this journal, regardless of if it's fandom or not.

Hm. I was a paid personal baker for a while? I love baking, and I love finding new recipes to try. One of my favorites is cherry almond biscotti, which was always so good. I think the most complicated thing I ever made was a German Chocolate Cake for work (which, ha, it's a hard cake! I apparently knew nothing about it before I started baking it.) Also, I cannot cut cakes in half well. It's always such a mess and layer cakes are horribly lopsided when I make them. It's embarrassing.

But I used to bake for [profile] the_gentlmans_revolt's family for a while. It was really fun and nifty.

Let's see what else. I know how to sew well enough to repair holes in my clothing, but I'm not good enough to sew actual clothes or use patterns. Also, I can only do it by hand. Sewing machines are the death of me.

At least you got paid for it. Teach me your ways, sensei.

Easiest way to cut cakes (Unless they are really dense and or nutty, like fruitcake.) is to take a long piece of unflavored dental floss, wrap it round the middle, pull it. My Granny used to do it. :)(She also did this to slice the cake.)

I'm from Snowflake FYI :) another baker \o/ I also love baking, it's something I find weirdly comforting (hate the clean up afterwards though!)

That's actually a very cool thing to know about you. I bake, too. Got a favourite muffin/mid-morning snack recipe?

Ooh, that looks good. I've tried making strawberry muffins before and found them too bland -- I love fruity muffins, but want them tart -- but this recipe looks promising. I might try swapping out the buttermilk for lemon yogurt. Thank you! :)
