The Journey (first cake)

Hello there.. What a rainy evening here in Shah Alam. For every episode must have a beginning. As I mentioned in earlier post, my love and interest towards baking was during my first pregnancy. It was like during 7 to 8 months pregnancy. Then I start to ask my friend for the tips, she was my senior and of course she loves baking. I start to buy basic equipment and collect recipes. Watched a lot of YouTube's video Almost 1 year then I dare to try it. Its like try and error. Most of the cakes taste nice but the look..hehe.

Vanilla cake..

Most of video that I watched is Joy of baking, oh she is really good. She teach the technique and how to bake one by one. I have learned a lot from there.
