My First Ever Attempt At Baking

I have always loved cakes, brownies and pastries. My sister Tyn used to bake when she was here. I never even dared nor asked her to show me how. I just never liked cooking nor baking at all. Though I don't have a choice with the cooking part. Still struggling with it.

Anyways, since no one will make brownies for me, unless I buy one; I put up the courage to try and bake one yesterday. I got this very easy-to-make pack with such basic ingredients and instructions. I get to have a very cute and ebullient little helper too; wanting to do everything! It's funny how he tasted it and almost licked clean the spoon and bowl!

We have already started mixing the ingredients when I remembered to take photos.

I burnt it! I'm so ignorant with using an oven and got confused with the supposed temperature for baking. I have also used a number of toothpicks, checking it at almost every second! Kaiden was excited to have one and eagerly waited till it cooled down.

Hubby and I were talking over at YM and I told him that I tried baking brownies but burnt it. He said I was good for trying. I mentioned how Kaiden licked what's left in the bowl. He said he did the same thing with his Mum when he was little. I replied that Kaiden really is his child! LOL!

Hubby had a couple of slices of my burnt brownies when he got home and liked it! He said it wasn't cooked in the middle and I did not stir it well, but it tasted good.

There's always a first time for everything and I know I didn't do bad somehow. It was a good start! Maybe I'll end up liking baking after all.
