Baking with Gab started because I bake too much and take photos of what I bake. I like my food simple, pretty and delicious. I much prefer food that is big on taste, rather than presentation, but I appreciate good food styling as well!
I’m not a perfect baker by any means; I forget to sift my flour and substitute granulated sugar when I don’t have caster sugar; I over-whip cream and take shortcuts when I can.
And I always melt my butter when I only intend to soften it.
I often talk to inanimate objects as well.
When I’m not baking, I enjoy reading, writing, travel and photography.
I also love dachshunds, floral/animal prints and tea – not necessarily in that order. My sausage dogs, Norman and Daisy, will pop up in posts every now and then, keep an eye out for them! They’re all over my Instagram.
If you’d like to follow or contact me, you can do so over several platforms:
bakingwithgab@gmail.com
If you have any super recipes or products that you’d like me to feature, send them my way, I’m open to ideas.
Thanks for reading, happy baking!

Fun blog 🙂
Hi Gabby! NIce work here. You were describing me when you were taking about not being a perfect baker! 🙂 Thank you for stopping by my blog!
I never sift! I use a fork and stir, stir, stir! It fluffs up the flour nicely!
Very true – and it’s much quicker! Thanks for reading!
How cute is Norman?! Lovely blog Gabby and thanks for visiting mine.
Oh Lidia, you’re so sweet! The name of your blog just rolls off the tongue! Norman is very handsome, I’m pretty sure people only read my blogs to see him!
Haha! I love that you talk to inanimate objects! You know what? I also do the same!! Sometimes when I see a shoes and I can’t but it at that moment, I speak to the shoes telling to stay there coz I’ll come back to get ‘her’. Some of my friends told me I am crazy but I told them, I see everything alive and floating, haha!!! Anyway, I love your blog and I am following you now. Have a lovely day, Gab. 🙂
Thankyou Jhuls! You’re so sweet! I’m glad other people talk to inanimate objects – it makes me feel more normal!! I’ve followed you back, it’s lovely to see someone so passionate about cooking 🙂
Haha! We are normal! 😀 And thanks a lot for following back! 🙂
I love talking to inanimate objects too! Lol… your blog looks lovely. 🙂
Haha this blog has made me realise I’m not the only one mad enough to talk to things! Thankyou for the compliment – your blog is amazing, I love your clever use of chocolate and templates!

Norman is the star of the blog, I’m just his facilitator 😛
Thankyou for reading!
Omg I can’t believe you have a dachshund! I have been obsessed with wanting one for years! Can’t have one as we both work full time though 😦 Norman is so cute!! Hmmm we both go out with Yorkshire men… both love dachshunds! This could be the start of a beautiful friendship 🙂
Haha! If you ever visit Australia, you’re welcome to borrow Norman! I do believe that you and I could have been separated at birth!
