ABOUT

I am a 23 years old girl living in Norway with infinite love for baking. I love to bake anything and everything sweet and I am hungry to try as many recipes as possible. I love to mix together those lovely ingredients which results in indescribeably fragrants that are produces in the oven and fills the home with sweet love.

I almost bake everyday. For me baking is love. When I bake, I can put all the love I want in what I am making and that feels so great. I can forget all my sorrows and I can feel better within two seconds just with the thought of baking. It feels like baking is in my blood and that baking is my happy pill in life.

My love for baking started at the age of 9. Ever since I was a little girl I used to see my mom bake lovely cakes and yeasted goodies and later my older sister used to fill the home with same smell.
In the early years of my baking journey I was pretty much excited about baking cookies and candies. My first ever baking attempt when I was 9 years old was some rectangular shaped chocolate cookies called "cat's tales", which I found in a old booklet for christmas baking that follows home magazines. I do not really remember the result, but after that attempt my love for baking became stronger and stronger with time. I started to make caramels, small cookies and stuff. I remember the caramels were great and my siblings praises them even today.
When my sister got married about 6 years ago, I literally started to bake for real; cakes, yeasted buns, everything, you name it.
Later I have found out that I also have a love for decorating cakes, especially marzipan cakes and I have come a long way, but I am still improving.

I would first and foremost like to thank God for gifting me with this ability, and my mom and sister for being great inspiratons.
I hope to be an inspiration to all of you who love to bake and I hope you will enjoy my blog.

[This blog started at the end of December 2007 for about 3 years ago named "Taste of Norway", and have now gone over to 'Crème et Cannelle' which stands for "Cream & Cinnamon" in french. This is a dedication to my love for France, my love for french pastry and my love for cinnamon].
