The science and art of baking is pure therapy in raw form. I love mixing - the texture of the flour, the sweet smell of the sugar, cracking the eggs - the whole BIG mess!! It's so amazing how different elements, inedible alone but combined, can bring out a masterpiece πππ Baking requires precision and an understanding of your ingredients. This is particularly true when substituting, I learnt this the hard way, our local castor sugar is super duper, so for most international recipes I reduce by nearly half. Maybe it's in the way I measure? Who knows! That is the beauty of exploring measuring with cups compared to the scale. As much as we may have the recipe (THE SCIENCE), you will also need to understand yourself as a baker, your oven, your weather, and your ingredients (THE ART) in order to get the best out of the whole experience.
