Sour Cherry Bars

On Sunday I decided to use up some leftover ingredients and create these Sour Cherry Bars. The recipe is similar to that of my Lemon Coconut Squares, but they only have coconut on the top not in the bars themselves so they are a lot more fudge-like and dense in texture.  Don't get me wrong, they taste delicious!  They just aren't quite the flavour I was aiming for, therefore I am going to be tweaking the current recipe this week until I get it spot on.
So why am I posting?  I thought it would be nice for all you other keen bakers, or first time bakers, to see that sometimes recipes don't go to plan even for the best of us.  Creating the best bake can take many attempts, especially if you're a bit of perfectionist like I am.  Don't lose faith if things don't go right the first time round.  Remember;

Check back later on in the week to see my perfected recipe and if you haven't already, please like my Facebook page or follow me on Twitter and Instagram :)

The First Post!

Hello and welcome to my brand new baking blog!  For those of you who are regular bloggers you may just recognise my chubby-cheeked face as I used to occasionally ponder my thoughts in a lifestyle and beauty blog called Between Today & Tomorrow.  For those of you who have no idea who I am...

Hi. I'm Abby and I love to bake!

BakeAbella is my online baking journal and my New Year's Resolution if you will.  Having stopped baking professionally almost two years ago, it became evident that it was a big part of who I am and that I'd developed a rather big cupcake-shaped hole in my life.

In January I made a promise to myself - I would bake at least once a week.

Everything I bake from now on will be featured on this little blog with photos, recipes and how-to's.  Many friends and work colleagues often pester me for my recipes, so if you too are a keen baker or just fancy trying out one my creations, now you can!
If you want to find out a bit more about me, or where my love for baking came from, just head over to my About Me page.

I am currently seeking inspiration for my next bake on Thursday and at this moment I'm thinking apricots...
