3 6 Blum Inspirations Why do your share your baking secrets online? I want to show people how easy it is to make something with just a few ingredients and your own hands, and to always know what 's in it – that 's what I want to get across. Anyone and ever yone can bake! I t 's clear that your shop is a labour of love. Which aspects were most important to you? I wanted to create a feelgood place with enough space for people to browse the shop and be inspired while enjoying a cof fee and some lit tle samples in peace and quiet. When I look around, it 's like I 'm in a dream. This is exactly how I imagined it. What was the most impor tant aspect during the planning stage? A spacious and convenient k itchen was the pr ior it y – it is still the bir thplace of many new ideas, books, maga zines and videos. You've integrated a lot of Blum prod - ucts – organisat ion and storage space must be impor tant to you? You can never have enough storage space and with this many utensils, a good dividing system is wor th its weight in gold. Baking inevitably results in a bit of 'chaos' and this means I can clear up and put ever y thing back in its place in no time at all. Do you feel more at home in the digital or the analogue world of baking? I tr y to find a balance. Without social media "Bak ing with Chr istina" would never have become what it is today. You can reach a lot of people, and hopefully inspire them, via the internet. But in-person conversations are most impor tant to me. It helps me find out what people like and where we can improve or develop. This feedback is incredibly useful – both analogue and digital.
