Hi everyone,
Just joined the community, my name is Mike, I'm 59 and live in Worcestershire, UK. I'm a reasonable home cook in every area except baking and pastry, where I'm a complete beginner. In fact I wouldn't say I'm even that... The most I've done is gingerbread men at Christmas, a complete failure of a yule log (much to the amusement of my wife, who'd bought one just in case) and (last week) a Victoria sponge.
I'd love to be able to bake for the family, I've been looking round for a beginner friendly forum that will tolerate lots of "so how do you that?" posts and a few "Err so what went wrong here then?" ones too.
My goal is to bake a dream birthday cake for our granddaughter's 5th birthday in May... Beyond that I'm keen to learn how to bake just about everything.
Looking forward to being a part of the community.
