The sky has no limits!

One of Bombadils coming titles which in Swedish is called "Spelarnas baksidor" is a book about baking, but not just baking, it is also a book about football players! Maria and Sofia, twin sisters has together contacted Swedish elite players and asked them "What is your favourite cake recipe?", then they have baked which ever cake the football player has chosen and after that, photographed it and put it all together with recipe, photograph, facts about and a picture of the player.

They liked baking, and they liked football and thought to themselves "why not combine these two worlds?" When Maria and Sofia first came to Bombadil we thought exactly the same thing: "Yeah, why not". We are all surrounded by prejudgment views, there are always someone thinking something about the way we look or the interests we have got. The stereotypical man likes football and the stereotypical woman likes baking, for example. At least this was the old stereotypes, I pray that these conservative views are fading away as they seem to, because they are far from correct! Maria and Sofia are great examples of that; they love both baking and football, as they should. No stereotypes are holding them back from doing what they want to do; a baking book including football players, and instead of keeping those two worlds apart, they combine them.

So start breaking down the stereotypes and do what you feel like doing, but foremost, be who you want to be; the sky has no limits.
