It’s no secret that during the Circuit Breaker period, many of us turned to baking at home as a way of distracting ourselves from the crippling loneliness of social distancing. But long before the pandemic even hit, home bake businesses have already formed a flourishing community on Instagram. From flaky pastries to lava cakes and macarons, the ever-growing choices are definitely a treat for the eyes and mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
