Let them eat cake

As part of the #edublogclub year-long challenge to blog on education. While the official club has ended, they have still shared posts to continue the journey through 2017. This week’s prompt was about a hobby or interest. 

Every now and then I’ll post to Instagram a food and book picture, in part to share what I’m reading, but also seasonal foods, delicious dishes, or a snapshot of my culinary diet because I like to eat. But if I was to focus on a hobby, it would be baking– usually if a friend is visiting, it’s a colleague’s birthday, or to say thank you. And what usually comes from the baking is a picture of the finished product. I certainly don’t go all-out in posing the food, but sometimes it feels right. Plus, there’s no pressure because I don’t have a baking blog where they’re meticulously posting step-by-step directions and the final product for comparison. So here are a few:

And just like pictures bring you back to a moment or a smell reminds you of someone specific, I can tell you for each baked item, why it was baked. My own version of Like Water for Chocolate. Next, if I get super ambitious, I should take inspiration from books and bake a companion to it. Wouldn’t that be sweet?
