#100bakeschallenge

I mean, not really. They were three different bakes, actually. I feel like all I write about these days is baking and my empties. These are the two series I can almost keep up with. (Again, not really, but I try!) I feel like I have no time or energy for anything these days. Just work and then desperately trying to keep up with the housework, which, to be fair I/we are slowly chipping away at to…

I baked! Again. That’s how many now? Six? Yup, just went and checked – I have made 6 out of the 100 bakes on that list. I guess it is fairly obvious I am not going to complete this challenge in a year. Did I ever believe I would? Maybe for a very short period of time. From when I wrote my first post about it until I actually baked again. Since then it has been pretty clear I don’t bake anywhere…

So far I have baked exactly 5 things this year. We’re half way through March and I have made 5/100 bakes. I have this mad notion that I will bake like a crazy person in the summer but realistically I don’t see that happening. Do you? Because I don’t. I’m now guessing that instead of even entertaining the idea that I will complete my 100 bakes challenge in one year, I’ll get to see how many years…

So, yes, I made fudge. For the first time in my life! Why did I decide to make fudge now, you ask? Well, that’s because it was part of my 100 Bakes Challenge! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are now TWO items down from my list. Just 98 to go! Oh, by the way, I actually used the recipe from the condensed milk can! I mean, at first I looked it up on the internet, but then realised it was exactly the…

One down, 99 to go

I baked! I made oat and raisin cookies. You know, for my challenge. Of 100 bakes. In a year… That we have just over 11 months left of and I’ve managed one bake so far. Eh, I did a bake! Woohoo! I wanted to start with something nice and simple so I went with my go-to oat and raisin cookie recipe and even though I had to adjust my ingredients a little, I’d say they still came out a roaring…

Hi, so, I got a ‘100 Bakes To Make At Home’ scratch off poster for Xmas aaaaaaaaand I’m wondering if to turn it into a challenge? What do you think? I mean… a 100 bakes in a year sounds like a LOT. Especially considering that I used to do 20 Cheesecakes in a year challenges and the like and got pretty sick of it by the end of the year. But the thing with this one is that it’s got a huge variety…
