Aahh, the memories. That faded, vinyl Vegemite apron meant afternoons in the kitchen with my great grandma, learning the art of baking and perfecting the technique of licking the batter off every bowl, spoon and cooking utensil I could get my hands on. Not much has changed, except the size of my apron, and thankfully the hair.
These afternoons with my great grandma established my love of spending time in the kitchen. I find nothing more satisfying than seeing family and friends smile when they receive a gift of home baked goodies or when they devour something I’ve created.
My early baking adventures included making millions $3.50 selling biscuits from a fold up table out the front of our house (thanks dad), training with world class experts (my neighbour was widely known for her pikelets) and becoming an award winning baker (I have the local country show first place certificates to prove it).
As the years went by, life got busier and my baking was put on hold for work, chores and weekend sport. The thought of hunting through websites and recipe books for the perfect recipe, then visiting one, two or sometimes even three shops to find the ingredients meant my time in the kitchen was limited to special occasions. And don't get me started on the half used packets of ingredients that sat in my pantry until they were out of date. There had to be a better way. And Bakers Box was born.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced baker, our kits take the stress out of baking from scratch at home, so you can focus on the more important things like creating memories in your kitchen. Thank you for joining us and I dearly hope you enjoy your baking journey.
