Challenges for 2014.

I started this blog with the best of intentions, and for a plethora of reasons it has been somewhat neglected (over a year since my last post!).

I have set myself a few goals for 2014 and one of them is to bake every month. But I am now torn between baking with wheat flour (good for my waistline, but no way I can taste.) and baking cupcakes that are gluten free. Perhaps I will alternate.

Gluten free baking has become quite a challenge for me, as nothing ever tastes right. I'd be tempted to say "that's just the way gluten free is", but I know that it isn't. Heavenlies Cakes sell GF cakes on Sheffield Farmers Market every month, and they are always so perfect. 

In January I baked some banana muffins with Doves Farm GF self raising, and I think I overbaked them. They were dry as a bone in less than 24 hours. But I will not let that put me off. Onwards and upwards!

January's Banana muffins... they looked good at least!
