Cinnamon Rolls... and hi there!

This weekend I was meant to be doing... SO MANY THINGS!

There was homework and work related things and I don't really remember due to the lack of attention I usually pay as the week wears onwards, however, I didn't actually do any of that. Instead, I decided to do what I have been doing every weekend for the past two or three months, procrastinate via baking. Procrastibake!

So far in my adventures in baking I've made lots of different kinds of cookies, a few cupcakes and some different types of popcorn like cinnamon and caramel. I have also got really annoyed at the fact that so many of the awesome recipes I find have ingredients you can't get in Australia. Its very frustrating.

However, this week I decided to do something I haven't done before, so I made something with yeast in it. And ohmysweetgoodness was it fun when the dough rose! I did some kind of weird happy dance thing while squealing that made my family begin to wonder if I was accidentally switched with another baby in the hospital as a child.

I wish I could show you some cool pictures of the cinnamon rolls in the making but I can't. What I can do is show you a picture of the delicious delicious results and tell you that pretty much everyone who ate one has now decided we are very very good friends and I should make them more for their birthday.

This was made with the recipe on The Pioneer Woman's website. May I just say, this may possibly be my favourite website for recipes? Its truly awesome.

So these were peanut butter and chocolate cookies that I made massive jars of for my friends birthdays. This weekend I don't know what I'll be making but I think that as I have a BIG test in my Global Politics class next week I will be stressed and therefore I'm thinking cake. Cake with totally help me forget that studying is important.

So now to introduce myself. I am a high school student from Australia who is under massive pressure at a crazy academic school. Therefore I choose to ignore all the required stress a lot of the time, choosing to bake instead of doing actual work. I will also more than likely talk about reading or writing at some point on this blog. I love to read to ridiculous extents and love to write as well. So much so that writing is my ideal future, otherwise I am aiming to be one of those most hated people: A lawyer.

I hope to share some of my adventures in baking, maybe eventually cooking, and of course reading and writing which will probably mean some book reviews. I'm kind of opinionated, so when I read something awesome I feel the need to share.

I hope you don't mind if I just randomly explode about whatever I'm thinking at the time on here but hopefully I will be able to post pictures and recipes at least once a week of something delicious.

 Thanks for reading this.You look very pretty today.
