About Me

Once I was in high school there was always the question “What are you going to do once you graduate?” I always got very tired of that question as I was never really sure of what I wanted to do with my life. It is really hard to pick just one thing to do as there are so many options. I have always loved making things with my hands and have always enjoyed making food. I love good food, there is nothing better. So for a very long time I thought of becoming a Chef! Then I talked to some chefs that I knew and they didn’t always say the best things about being a chef. Yes they loved theirs jobs. But it was a very demanding and not always a positive environment to work in. And also VERY stressful. I am okay with stress but I would like to enjoy the job i’m in and not be stressed all the time. And then the day came when I realized I could become a baker! That was a great day... And now I am in the ITA apprenticeship program to become a Red-Seal Baker! I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life and learn a lot more about baking. This is a blog of all my adventures baking and experimenting, and about the many new things I am going to learn as a Red-Seal Baker! I have finished my first year of my baking apprenticeship and am excited for the second. I wanted to start this blog as I am a baker and am always making and trying new recipes. I wanted a place where I could look back on all the things that I have made and on the many things that I have also experimented with. As you probably know, not everything works out when you bake :) So here are some of the many things that I have been making. Included are the recipes if you would like to try some of the many things that are really tasty and also pretty! I will never make something that doesn't taste good, but the garnish adds to it!

As always, 

Tessa  a.k.a "Bitsy Bakerette"
