Sourdough bread made at home (natural yeast)

  Read to be baked! Making bread with natural yeast, also known as sourdough, is a rewarding and traditional process. Natural yeast is a mixture of flour and water that captures wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria from the environment. This yeast mixture also called a " starter " or " levain " is used as the leavening agent in sourdough bread. Here's a basic step-by-step guide on how to make bread with natural yeast at home: Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour (for the starter) 1/2 cup lukewarm water (chlorine-free) A kitchen scale A clean glass or plastic container with a lid A kitchen thermometer Additional flour and water for the bread dough Salt (for flavor) Day 1: Creating the Starter In a clean glass or plastic container, mix 1/2 cup of lukewarm water (around 80-85°F or 27-29°C) with 1/2 cup of all-purpose or whole wheat flour. Mix until you have a thick, smooth paste. Cover th

Square Box Birthday Cake

 This was a birthday cake for a twelve year old girl, called Hara.
On a ball I added 100gr of caster sugar and a few drops of purple colour. With the help of a spoon I managed to create a purple sugar effect. I used a bit of vodka to wet the top part of the bow foldings and then I stuck the sugar on them by dipping the wet part of the bow foldings into the sugar.

I used a new camera to take the photos and I had a little problem with the photos.  I will try to have a better result the next time...

  21. First off I would like to say superb blog! I
    had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.

    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
    Cheers!
