🍎 **Happy World Teachers’ Day!** 📚❤️

Do you ever think back to a teacher who made a lasting impression on you? The one whose classroom you remember, whose words stayed with you, or who made you feel like you could achieve anything?

As we celebrate World Teachers’ Day, I thought it would be great to take a little trip down memory lane and celebrate the teachers who helped shape who we are today.

For me, it was Mrs Smith, my Grade 3 teacher. She had a special way of making every student in her class feel important and believe they could achieve anything. Looking back, I realise just how powerful that is. Sometimes, all it takes is one teacher who believes in you to change the way you see yourself.

Years later, we might forget the lessons, the worksheets and even what we learned that year, but we remember how a teacher made us *feel*.

So, I'd love to hear your story!

Who was a teacher you still remember today, and what made them so special? Share your memories in the comments. Let's celebrate the teachers who made a difference, often without even realising just how much.

The answer is chocolate, who even cares what the question is

MIDWEEK BAKING BATTLE
Time for an important decision.

No overthinking. No sitting on the fence. Just choose your favourite.

1. Brownie or Chocolate Cake?

2. Biscoff or Caramel?

3. Lemon Slice or Hedgehog Slice?

4. Chocolate Chip Cookies or Yo-Yos?

5. Cake or Biscuits?

6. Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate?

7. Warm from the oven or Chilled from the fridge?

8. One big slice or lots of little bites?

And the most important question…

What should Teacher Turned Baker make next?

Drop your answers below — I want to see which side wins!

And remember, there are no wrong answers…

Although choosing anything other than chocolate might be questionable.

MIDWEEK CHECK-IN
We’re halfway through the week, so let’s talk about something important…

What is the ONE baked treat you could never say no to?

Is it:

Chocolate cake
A warm cinnamon scroll
A gooey brownie
A classic biscuit
Cheesecake
Something covered in chocolate
Or something completely different?

For me, choosing just one would be nearly impossible.

And this is exactly why I love baking. There is always another flavour to try, another recipe to experiment with and another excuse to put the oven on.

So, let’s settle an important question:

What is your ultimate baked treat?

Tell me in the comments. I’m always looking for inspiration for the next Teacher Turned Baker creation.

✨ And just like that… another week done! ✨

Another week of teaching, learning, busy days, full calendars and probably far too many coffees… ☕😂

And now it’s time to swap the classroom for the kitchen and let the baking begin. 🧑‍🏫➡️🍰

There’s something I really love about the end of the week.

After spending the week helping others learn, solve problems and discover new things, I get to step into the kitchen and do a little learning of my own.

A new recipe.
A new idea.
A new flavour.
A new challenge.

Because with baking, just like teaching, you never really stop learning.

Some weeks bring perfect results.

Some bring lessons disguised as disasters. 😂

But every week brings something worth celebrating.

So here’s to Friday night, flour on the bench, chocolate in the kitchen and a weekend full of possibilities. ❤️

Teacher by week. Baker by passion. Always learning. Always creating.

Happy Friday from Teacher Turned Baker! 🎓🍰

What are you looking forward to this weekend?

🍪🍫 Meet the Biscoff Bites! 🍫🍪

Because apparently Biscoff fudge wasn’t indulgent enough… so I decided to coat it in TTB chocolate. 😍

Introducing Biscoff Bites — creamy, delicious Biscoff fudge, cut into little bites of heaven and completely coated in our very own TTB chocolate.

That gorgeous combination of Biscoff + fudge + chocolate is seriously hard to resist.

One bite quickly becomes two…

And suddenly you’re wondering where the rest of the box disappeared to. 😂

These little bites are perfect with a cuppa, as a sweet treat, or quite honestly… whenever you need a little chocolate pick-me-up.

Made with love, a little bit of indulgence and absolutely no apologies. ❤️

Biscoff Bites — because some things are just better when they're covered in chocolate. 🍫✨

It feels like the right time to reintroduce myself, and perhaps reflect a little on the journey that has brought me here.

My name is Matthew and I’m Teacher Turned Baker

For the past few years, Teacher Turned Baker has been a little corner of my world — a place where two things I have always loved have come together: teaching and baking.

Teaching has been such a meaningful part of my life. The relationships, the laughter, the challenges, the little moments when something finally clicks, and the privilege of watching young people grow and discover what they are capable of.

There have been countless moments over the years that have reminded me why I chose teaching in the first place.

And then there has always been baking.

Baking has been my creative escape. My happy place. A chance to slow down, experiment, create something from scratch and, most importantly, share it with others.

There is something incredibly special about making something with your own hands and then seeing the joy it brings someone else.

Looking back, I realise that teaching and baking have always had more in common than I first thought.

Both require patience.
Both involve creativity.
Both involve plenty of learning — and the occasional disaster! 😂
And both are ultimately about giving something to others.

Teacher Turned Baker was never about leaving teaching behind.

It has always been about embracing another part of who I am.

Over the past few years, this little journey has evolved, changed and grown alongside me. There have been busy periods, quiet periods, successes, plenty of lessons and lots of baking in between.

And now, I feel ready to reconnect with it again.

So, if you've been here for a while, thank you for being part of the journey.

And if you're new here, welcome.

I'm still teaching.
I'm still baking.
And I'm still incredibly grateful that I get to do both.

Teacher by profession. Baker by passion. And very lucky to find so much joy in both.
