Hi, Ann. I’ve commented many times on your videos about how much I love your channel. Well that’s true but today I want to ask you a question. Are you british related? Now I know you are australian but the first ones to discover was a dutch sailer and then a british sailor Captain James Cook who was actually looking for pacific came to Australia in 1770. Since he loved the area the british people sent groups of ships with british people to Australia. Then more and more british people came and finally in 1840 they stopped sending ships.
There were more british people than the habitants thus the aboriginies. When british was settled down they pushed the aboriginies to leave the country.
Well are you british related??
Now I find Australia a really interesting country so in a school – project I chose to talk about Australia and it’s therefore I was asking. I love the attractions in Australia I find them really pretty. And why I love Australia the most is because you live there. Hope you’ll reply! Again love your channel ❤
Hi Ann , I would just like to say what an AMAZING baker I think you are . I love to bake and your channel is one of my favourite baking channels for inspiration and creativity ( also I love to image not I’m a GREAT baker like you when in reality I’m not a quarter as good as you ) I tried making lots of your cakes but they have all gone horribly wrong ( again probably due to my lack of baking skills ) I would love if you could give me some tips although don’t worry if you can’t you probably have more important things to do than reply to me. I just wanted to tell you how much I love and how I watch your videos every week from the very start! Congrats for coming so far and also say a big congrats from me to your husband about his new book! You deserve everything you want in life and if you have read this far then my life is complete! I love you and thank you! Xx.
Hi Kiki, One of the most important things with baking is to start with simple recipes and follow them. If it doesn’t work then chat with someone who has used the recipe before and then keep trying till you get it right.
I love How To Cook That coz it gives me ideas and techniques in baking and decorating cakes. I love watching your videos. Gives me inspiration to do my best in baking.
