Which is why, when I heard about printable escape rooms, I got excited – no babysitter needed and much cheaper than a traditional escape room. Specifically, I am here to review…

I have often heard the phrase “baking is a science, cooking is an art” – meaning you can take creative liberties when you are making a savoury dish, but when it comes to baking, recipes must be followed precisely otherwise the outcome could be disastrous.
