Your Day 26 Making Time challenge:
For 26 minutes… bake a cake
Who says baking is just for birthdays and Christmas? Today’s make time challenge is to bake yourself a cake, just because.
Did you know that an afternoon spent whipping up a sweet treat won’t just makeyour kitchen smell delicious, it can reduce stress, anger and even depression?Working through the steps of a recipe helps you to focus and you forget about everything else that’s been whirring through your mind. It’s a kind of creative meditation. Plus you get to lick the spoon and the bowl at the end!Today enjoy creating something from nothing and giving yourself, and the people you love, a home-cooked treat. Of course we’re not suggesting you make a five-tiered extravaganza Choccywoccydoodah style, we’re talking about something quick, easy and fun – a single layer cake, some cupcakes, chocolate brownies, a banana loaf, a fridge tray bake – whatever you fancy!
