About the Blog

Hello and welcome to TassyBakes!

I’m Tassy (yep, that’s my full name) and I started this blog as a complete baking amateur back in 2013. I was a slightly bored English student at the time and the majority of my creations were improvised in a predictably ill equipped kitchen and fed to my gannet-like housemates.

What started as a hobby soon turned into an obsession and I found myself writing recipes and photographing food at every spare moment. I then decided I would quite like to make a career in the food industry, so after my graduation in 2015 enrolled in the professional chef diploma at Leiths School of Food and Wine.

Since leaving Leiths in July (2016) I have been working in food full time and am still growing my blog. I aim to get my tested recipes out each week and hope they inspire you (whether that be through flavours or decorations) to get into the kitchen and get baking.

Please let me know if you try out any of my recipes- I’d love to see your results.

Thanks for stopping by and please come back again!

Tassy

    thanks for checking out the apple dumplings.. do they happen to be a common dish in your area? They actually stem from the influence of the Pennsylvania Dutch ( German) whose history has long been intertwined with that of our state, particularly the south central region. jt

      They’re not common at all where I am from which is why I liked your post so much! Thanks for checking out my blog.

    Thank you so much for recently becoming one of my blog followers! I’ve just started blogging, and it’s really delightful to have been welcomed to the community so nicely.

    Now I must insist that you stop posting photos of delicious baked goods, because my waistline simply can’t handle it and it’s too late to be making chocolate cake! (or is it…)

    Thanks for following my blog 🙂 I’ve had a look at some of your bakes and they look scrummy! Your photography is really good (something I need to work on.) I’ve just seen we actually go to the same uni- small world, aside from the fact I live in the science department so our paths will never cross 😛

    Good luck with your blog. It looks great.

      Oh how strange! What a coincidence! Your photography looks great, mine is only good when I am at home and have access to a decent camera.

      1. akswong's avatar

        My photography only looks alright due to the hours I spend shooting and photo-shopping. it’s persistence rather than talent! Thanks anyway 🙂

    Thanks for the follow! Love the title of your blog–it has a cheery sound to it in a, “I only write about stuff that makes me happy and I want you to be happy too” kind of way!
    Very cute dogs, too…

      Ah thankyou for your nice comments- I am by no means an experienced baker but I hope you like my posts!
