Quirky Things We Do

Hi everyone! I was wondering about some of the quirky things we do while baking. I was just making cupcakes, and noticed that I always count the cupcake liners as I am putting them in the baking pans. How strange is that! I know perfectly well what the count will be! LOL!! Anybody else want to share their little quirks!

I do it too! I think you’ve obviously uncovered some odd decorator trait ;).

Haha this really made me giggle. Guilty of counting the liners! I also talk to myself the whole time… Makes my husband laugh. I talk through (with myself) what i going to do next. It’s a crazy world I live in :)

Hahahaha! Yes… Guilty… I count the cupcake cases too…. And I read out loud the recipe, even though i know it off my heart… My other one usually causes my husband to run downstairs or the cats to dash out the house…. And that’s when I have a cake accident…. It’s usually a loooong loud wailing…. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Followed by silence as I go into total denial… Hahaha great discussion thanks xxx 😜

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits
