The UNdomesticated Goddess Strike AGAIN !

If there is anything that interest me in the kitchen, it's the oven and the desire to bake.

I get excited with it comes to baking. When I compare it with cooking and it's oil splatters, the grease and the cleaining up, I can live with just eating a cake forever.

Last week, I decided to bake a cake. For the first time in my life, I wanted to bake a cake ! I have tried baking brownie and muffin and they were always easy and suddendly a cake seems like a challenge and I wonder, when I attend Home Economics class during Secondary School (High School) how come I never have the opportunity to bake a cake.

Then I remembered, when I was in Home Economics class or rather my entire life, I hated anything to do with being in the kitchen that involves cooking, baking or touching raw meat. TO get through the class, my masterplan was to pair up with a classmate who inspire to be Martha Steward and always want to steal the lime light.
Being the "considerate" partner, I always take a step back and sometimes two thus they can have all the attention that they want. Show off all they want, be in total and absolute control for all they want. As for my contribution, I sacrifice and take on the not so glamourous title as being The Kitchen Helper aka checking out what other teams are doing and doing PR with the rest of the class. Thank God on my wise pick on my partner, I never get a D and always smooth sail during class and practical test.

Yesterday I drove myself to the supermarket and grab more baking stuffs. With the success of my double layer chocolate cake, I now have the confident boost with baking. Well, the neighbour seems surprise when I told them it's the first time I bake and the kids are like "Wow, really ? But it's really good."

Yah, I know I have a hidden talent somewhere ! *lol*

Check out my double layer chocolate cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles....

Sister,

THANK YOU for your encouragement.

Yes, perhaps baking is my true life calling ???*lol*

I will work hard and achieve something. Like you said, for all I know, maybe when u, me and Cow when retired, we can open up an eatery. Ms Yap can present her famous Deep Fried Wanton and me with my baked goods.

So perhaps you need to start and create your master piece ! =)

I will strive towards it !
