To Bake or Not To Bake... that is the question.
One of the challenges in the turning point of my life is to take up learning how to cook and bake. It is overrated that girls cook and guys are supposed to play sport. If you are someone like me, you like to defile the odds of what society says and aim to break the mold. My passion is to see men stepping into the men they are called to be - and being comfortable in their own skin.
In my attempts to learn to cook/bake I have made two batches of cakes. The first attempt was with chocolate chip muffins. These beauties were simple to make and tasted delicious. The next big beauty was vanilla cupcakes with butter-cream icing. Now granted, cupcakes are often seen as feminine, however I attempted to bring in attributes of masculinity into my baking i.e. blue icing... with pretty sprinkles. Of course this is a joke. But sometimes you have to answer the question: To bake or not to bake?
If you are a confident enough male, the answer is... To bake. Give it a go and enjoy it. It is definitely good to try new things and to be confident about them. Sure, I did not hunt a deer, but what I did do is make aesthetically pleasing masterpieces that fed quite a few friends. The overall consensus was that they actually tasted good. So whether being a Metro-Man or Any-Man, the challenge for you is to give baking a go because you actually might create something that tastes darn good. The even greater news... the two recipes are cheap and effective (hello flatting/student).
