Last Sunday the 18th of May was World Baking Day, and I was invited by Stork to pledge to bake for someone special. About a week later two friendly chefs arrived at my door bearing a hamper filled with all the ingredients I would need to make a batch of delicious chocolate brownies to mark the day. I thought this was a fantastic idea and was more than happy to get involved (although it doesn’t take much to convince me to bake!).
Various other bloggers also got involved and I have read some lovely posts about how they baked for their colleagues, friends and mums, amongst others. In the end, I decided that I wanted to show my appreciation for an incredibly special person in my life – my amazing husband. There were a couple of reasons for my decision: the first (and most obvious) being that he is… like I said …amazing, and actually deserved a medal for “support of a stressed out wife” last week! It was also his birthday over the weekend – perfect timing. Not only that, but I have been baking a lot of brownies lately for work purposes, and it seemed only fair to make him batch that he was allowed to eat – poor guy.
