The Joy of Baking

I know it sounds like the title of a cook book, but for me baking truly is joyful. If I am feeling,tired,worried,depressed,angry ,excited, all I have to do is bake, and it takes me somewhere else. For me, baking is a therapeutic and calming experience.
I love to experiment with new flavor combinations or old traditional favorites for breads and muffins. Not to mention the exciting and comforting cookies and cakes I make, even when it's late at night. For me the smells and flavors of home made baked goods are like being wrapped in a warm and cozy blanket., comfort and security. Something we don't always feel in this crazy hectic life we all lead today.
I love bringing that same feeling to my customers threw the baked good we offer. For me it is such a pleasure when customers come into the restaurant to see what new flavors we have available in muffins and quick breads, a taste of Flapjacks Family Restaurant that customers can bring home..
At this moment I am baking and I just had to share these thoughts this with you . I have to leave the computer now and take the pumpkin bread out of the oven , the smell alone tells me it's ready
