Catchin’ the Wave with HELA SVERIGE BAKAR!

I am sure most of you didn’t know that I LOVE to bake. I usually bake something at least once a week.
Well, with the recommendation of a good friend and reaching the Final Audition, I will be one of 12 Contestants on a Swedish TV show called  “Hela Sverige Bakar”.
It’s in the same vein as “All Britain Bakes”  and “The Great American Bake Off”,
It’s Premier is Thursday September 10th at 9pm on TV 7.

The experience was unimaginable. The warmest side of it all was meeting the other contestants. None of us are Professional Bakers, nor have we gone to school. We do this for our own personal love and goals. We all became friends rather quickly and have stayed connected even after the cameras were turned off!

 

It was a great adventure for all of us. We laughed and joked as if we’d known eachother much longer than the time we were together.

Most photos of us are all from blogs, articles and the show.
This is to show you a side that is not always seen on camera or articles.
All of us have lives OUTSIDE our kitchens. We are Teachers, Cooks, Artists, Entreprenörs, Homemakers, Fashionistas, Nurses, Students, Firemen, Career minded people who just love to bake and have fun doing it!

The talent in these bakers ooze out like buttercream frosting. Sometimes making the most difficult desserts seem as easy as making a Meringue pie!

You want proof? Please go to MY+SWEET  for links to our blogs, Instagrams, Youtubes and Facebook pages! You will be pleasantly surprised by the awe inspring and jaw dropping cakes and sweets prepared by us!

Tune In to the premier episode of  “Hela Sverige Bakar” , this  Thursday September 10th at 9pm on TV7 or catch it on TV4Play!

The Fortunate Cook

 

FoodI love to bake. I love to cook. I love the chemistry. And most of all, I love to share my dishes and baked goods with friends and family.

 

 

I always heard that there is an “Art” to cooking and doing it well. I believe the ART of cooking is to LOVE what you do.

So, I decided (with alot of encouragement from friends) to start this Blog and post dishes I’ve made and wonderful meals I’ve discovered in restaurants here in Stockholm and through my travels.

I hope you enjoy!
