Post N0.3- Collaborations for 2018!!πŸ˜πŸ˜ƒπŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

What you say, amigos!

As it happens, this week's post establishes the concept of 
~πŸ’₯COLLABORATIONS~πŸ’₯.  Before long, I wrote a post on my initial plans for 2018 and how I,for one would like to embark on more collaborations with unfamiliar bloggers.

I would like to instigate different collaborators onto BakingBoutique for several reasons. I feel I'm in the need of new bloggers with a radical and innovative writing style and different ideas. Besides, I feel like the idea of collaborating is exciting. You uncover hidden interests and enthusiasm by branching out and interacting more. To me collaborating is an excellent way of doing so. Actually, I have collaborated with fellow bloggers in the past and I discerned the experience to be rather amusing and...congenial. This being the case, 2018 also happens to be one of the most high-priority years of school. In addition to being on top of BakingBoutique, I would like to be on top of my workload at school too. Personally, I think of collaboration very much as two for one. I get to connect with different people through a shared passion of blogging and my workload is helped. Fills two needs with one deed😁😊

What am I looking for in a potential collaborator?

Bloggers who are inexperienced,amateur or fairly new to the blogging community,have free time and minor commitments (the last thing I want to do is collaborate with someone who has a massive exam coming up,a competition for a leisure activity or preparing for GCSEs, for example). You don't have to be a SPECIFIC type of blogger or a specific age.

What type of posts would I like to collaborate with?

In case you're unaware, BakingBoutique is a food- related blog (usually sweet treats),baking,etc. I like to obtain the subject of my blog as much as possible. My most off-topic posts includes award tags such as the Liebester Award,The Mystery Blogger Award,etc. However, I don't want you to feel limited on topics to write. If anything, I'd advise you to get inventive. Perhaps you could compose a post in the day of the life of you(inc. pictures if you'd like), a favorites post, a tag of your own or one I haven't taken part in, an introductory post referring to your own blog;ANYTHING so long as it's not too off the topic . In case there's any elements I haven't touched on or unsure on, let me know in the comments below or send an email to me - I'll link my email at the end.

When would I like collaborators?

As presented in my 'Plans for 2018' post, my raison d'etre  is consistency alongside producing posts I'm TRULY satisfied with. But with "serious season" fast-approaching, I'm apprehensive of whether I can uphold this. To answer the question, my peak period presumably runs between the week beginning: 29th of January up until the 10th of February. If,for any reason, this period extends or lessens, I will let you know. Obviously, I'd opt for bloggers which are available during this precise period of time.  Nonetheless, anytime during the year is viable.😊

What day should I post?

If you're unaware of my usual posting days, I post once a week,  in the evening as I tend to bake during the day, on Saturdays.

And lastly, why should I collaborate with BakingBoutique?


I'd like to think BakingBoutique is a convivial, original platform where I can share my undeniable passion of baking and learn good and bad from blogging. Why you should fraternize with me? Well perhaps, you're also looking for pristine, new bloggers, or feel 2018 is the year for taking any good opportunity given. Perhaps you'd would also like to share a recipe or an experience ? Or maybe you'd like some publicity for your own blog, you feel you're rather unrecognized and you'd like that to change. IF so, do contact me or let me know in the comments. I'll be happy to hear from you.

First Recipe Post Of The YearπŸ˜…πŸ˜†πŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜Š

Hola a todos!

I hope you are all in good health and been making the most of life since my first POST of the year. So well....I apprehend this week's post as a little extra-EXTRAORDINARY from my usual posts as it's the first recipe post of the year. Obviously, I'd like to start my long list of recipe posts to a good start. This week's recipe is affordable to make,super easy, and most importantly healthier than usual. To note,I feel it sums up January in one word;healthy(for those who have kept their new year's resolutions),cosy and warm on the inside- Can you guess?


In order to concoct my "mystery-but-won't-be-soon" bake, you'll need:

255g of plain flour

3 teaspoons of baking powder


½ teaspoon of salt

100g of caster sugar

60g of butter

225ml of semi-skimmed milk

110g of apple-peeled,cored and chopped

Method:

First and foremost, preheat the oven to 200℃/180℃ fan oven/Gas Mark 6. 

Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin with paper muffin cases.

In a large bowl,sift together the flour,baking powder and salt.

In a different bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Eventually incorporate the flour mix into the butter mix,alternating with the milk at regular intervals.

Fold in the apple until decently mixed in. Divide the batter amongst the muffin tin.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick is inserted into the centre of a muffin and comes out clean.

Post N0.1 2018- Plans for 2018

What's crack-a-lackin fellow friends!!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Happy New Year! To tell you the truth, I'm extremely thrilled for the new year. And obviously,  I have many arrangements for BakingBoutique 2018, some which I'm sure you'd be pleased by.   


One detail from 2017 which I'd like to adjust is the consistency of my posts. One week I'd have a post without pictures and only get round to uploading pictures like three weeks later.Plus, the amount of times I've burdened you all with apologises isn't good enough. So as of now, I'm changing the schedule of my posts:

I intend on posting with pictures at least two blog posts per month, alongside two additional posts of indefinite choice (perhaps an award dedication or an chatty article about baking). That is my target this year;one I wish to withhold.

Unknowingly last year, I had multiple ideas of collaborations on BakingBoutique. However, I hadn't actually pursued them.  Since "serious school season" is fast-approaching, I want to be able to put up content for all to read and enjoy, even when school can be unbearable. To do this,  I had in mind amazing, budding bloggers...? More of collaborations will be shortly.



Expression of my guilt
This leads me onto my next point of uploading content which I'm truly satisfied with. Speaking truthfully, within my two+ years of blogging, publishing posts which aren't to MY personal partiality has been a recent issue. Last year, I was finally beginning to adapt and MANAGE the workload I was receiving. Nonetheless, I blatantly neglected this blog. Behind the scenes, I felt remorse and guilt for not posting things which not only inadequate to you but also myself. In short, this year I pledge to uploading content which pleases me. After all, when I publish a recipe post which isn't to my contentment, that disappointed is displayed on here to you all, as well.

This year, I particularly would like to offer the chance of voicing what type of posts you'd like to read- that doesn't mean that I'm necessarily lacking in inspiration. I just feel the things I post...it's nice at times but it would be nice to have some input. Thereafter,  I wish to hold polls on THIS blog, to gain your opinions on what I shall do next.

Lastly, could someone please let me know in the comments how I can ADD to my Bloglovin feed??πŸ˜•πŸ˜• If you click the little
thumbnail on the homepage of this blog(I'll have a picture now), you visit my Bloglovin page...and as you can see, I haven't uploaded in like 2 years. The reason of this is because I don't know how to upload any of my newer blog posts. So could someone inform me on how to upload my newer content onto my account.

Furthermore, I hope you have a happy weekend and I hope to see you very soon!

Adios!
