About me 

Me in one sentence: A crazy, baking and eating obsessed, extreme Christmas maniac.

 

Hey!!

Are you a cake lover? Do you like baking easy, but super delicious desserts? Are you obsessed with everything that contains caramel?

You somehow found this blog so I guess you are! Welcome to the gym, where we grow our muscles by making mind-blowing creations! (Cheeky little blog name reference). If you are half as crazy as I am for baking you are on the right page. And I hope my craziness doesn’t scare you!

 

You will find posts with, simple, freakin’ delicious, sometimes a bit crazy recipes, that everybody can make! I try to share lots of Hungarian recipes because the world just needs a bit more from the badass Hungarian cuisine. Aaaand loads of Christmas recipes, just because I am one of the craziest Christmas fanatics in the whole wide world (not kidding, ask my friends and family!).

 

I started the blog in September 2016. The idea to create a blog popped into my mind on a Spring afternoon. I wanted to share my ideas, recipes, and obsession and inspire others! My goal is to prove that everybody can bake pretty and amazing food without being a professional.

 

As you already guessed I LOVE baking! It has always taken an important place in my heart. When I was little I was always flipping through my grandmother’s and mother’s baking magazines and books a million times. Nowadays I still do this. When I was 9 or 10 and my best friend and I had a sleepover we always woke up earlier to make some breakfast for our parents.

 

Nowadays I clearly have a problem... I can spend hours scrolling through food blogs, watching youtube videos to create the perfect recipe for a birthday cake, or just for a Sunday afternoon dessert.

 

In the meantime, I am studying Architecture in Scotland, and I am a „wannabe architect". As I said before, I am overly obsessed with Christmas but I can easily get excited about most things. I try to appreciate the positive little things all around me.

 

I am from Budapest, the beautiful capital city of Hungary I was living there with my family before moving to Scotland about a year ago. I have a younger sister who is a grilled cheese expert. She makes THE BEST grilled cheese sandwiches in the whole wide world, I am not even kidding! My family is always so generous to help with the taste tests.

 

I also have two of my best friends helping. Let’s call them Chili and Pepperoni. Yep, you heard it right! We are the three paprikas because when we laugh we are as red as a paprika And we laugh a lot… and when I say a lot I really mean it! They are my biggest helpers in this whole thing. Chili designed the logo, and she always helps me with the photography. Pepperoni reads the posts and corrects the grammar since I have a lack of sence for spelling and grammar. I know… don’t judge me, my Hungarian grammar is even worse. And that is why this blog’s name isn’t Grammar minutes with Gabo.
