I never knew how to bake and I never knew to to decorate a cake but I loved to do it.
At the beginning my cakes looked good but when there were thrown on the wall,
the wall cracked instead of the cakes , hehhehehhehhe.
Met a friend Asila she invited me to her home &
thought me the basic baking of a buttercake.

Huff thought with one lesson I could be a hero lah……
Here goes….
It all started when I wanted to bake a cake for my godson Alexander.
I was single and didnt have an oven or a cake mixer.
I bought all the ingredients and drove to my
eldest sister , Catherine’s home .
She wasn’t home and I happily measuring,
weighing and mixed the cake batter.
Well it looked good. I pre-heated the oven……
after 20 minutes I still could not feel the heat on the oven door.
I waited another 20 minutes!!! and yet not heat but I could only hear a blowing sound.
I waited another 20 minutes!!! and yet not heat but I could only hear a blowing sound.
With blur blur mind, I just put the batter into the oven.
Patiently I waited and waited….after 40 mins …
Patiently I waited and waited….after 40 mins …
No reaction to the batter , I panicked.
I called my sister and asked her if her oven was working..?
Her answer , ” yes dear I roasted a chicken yesterday.”
Opppps and I told her what happened, she asked did you turn on the oven?
I said yes of course…..
She said which button??
I told her the button that has a fan symbol on it…
She burst out laughing and said I should be home in a minute….
She arrived home and she stared at me and said…
” my dear sister you switched ON the fan of the oven
but you did not switch on the oven!!!!!
Holy cow I stood there feeling so embarrassed
and a total FOOL lah but burst out laughing too wkakkakakkakakka
and a total FOOL lah but burst out laughing too wkakkakakkakakka
Chinese saying, ai yah chen hai chun loh!!!!!
Cat went upstairs and brought down a baking reference book and said ,
” Nah this is for you , a baking reference book that guides you in your baking , decorate a cake
and also teach you how to ON THE OVEN “!!!!!!
Hehhehehhe…..from then onwards I took up the challenge And told myself ,
I will definitely learn from here and perfect myself…..
My baking journey began from here, ……I baked and baked and baked till I get to the right texture and taste.
I attended simple baking lesson at the Bake with Yen.
I started making my own fondant by hands and started to learn to mould
fingerine from scratch and from books…..Today I must say I am very proud my acheivement…
but still they are I can learn and apply……still happily learning…..
Here’s the picture of the precious baking reference book given to me by my
dearest sister……Thank you ….hehhehehhe, the bible to my baking path……burp!!!!!
