Baking is therapeutic to me, no matter
however tired I am I can bake even from my sleep. Now that it’s summer
holidays time is perfect, with lots of free time in hand and enthusiastic boy at
home I look for any excuse to bake. He loves baking too, maybe more than baking
he likes to eat what we bake :)
Whenever we go to friends place we take
the opportunity to bake something to take with us. Since it’s summer and strawberries
are in abundance in supermarkets I wanted to bake something summery yesterday
to take to a friends and after brainstorming for a while we settled with this
swiss roll. It’s such an easy thing to
whip up and tastes really awesome. Believe it or not, it was so good that I
baked another swiss roll again today and that’s all gone too !
