Carrot Bread – From My German Sister Anja
Ask me the question: do you have a friend who smiles all the time, who is hard-working and always but positive? I DO, I DO, I DO! Anja!

Scones.. Well, I actually do not have a very big personal connection to them. Therefore I do not have any specific story to tell, related to what led me to bake this recipe. But I can write about how they turned out though. And how photogenic they are.
I like fruits when they are still partially green, unripe. I want them to be really hard and not so juicy. My mother, who is in love with all the juicy and messy fruits, always told me that I was a bit “weird” in that sense.. Well, maybe I am.
If I ever manage to open my own bakery, I will bake something with cinnamon every day, especially in autumn and in winter. Cinnamon gives the cosiest ever smell… When I baked this semi-sweet bread, the kitchen (and ultimately the whole apartment) smelled so nicely of cinnamon that I could stay inside forever.
I’m 33 years old and I finally know what I really, REALLY want to do in life. I want to wake up at 4 a.m. every day, bake fresh bread and pastries and I want to provide people with their first food of the day, in a cosy, small and warm bakery. It will be a small neighbourhood bakery and I will know my regular customers by name and say “Huomenta Maija! Mitä kuuluu?” (“Good morning Maija! How are you?”) with a smiling face.
