Baking with Love

When it comes to cooking, I love making desserts more than anything else. But most of the desserts I make do not involve much baking. I only bake cookies during fasting month in preparation for eid and cakes are very rarely made. When I was in the UK, the only cake I made was a cheesecake. Last year however, my sister and I tried our hand at baking cupcakes. We followed a recipe from a book I bought. The cakes were delicious if I might say, but unfortunately, the buttercream frosting was a bit soft and it didn't look nice when piped out. I was determined to try again but the second time around the frosting came out to be even worst.

Anyway, I was not going to be defeated so with the hope that third time is the charm, my sister and I had another go on Sunday. This time we must not fail as it was being baked for my mother's birthday. So, instead of making cupcakes, we made a whole cake. To ensure that the frosting won't be soft, I reduced the amount of boiling water but I guess it was still too much. The piped frosting didn't come out nicely but it seemed better than before. My sister said that with practice it would be better. I hope so too.

I find that baking is quite fun, thus, I'm thinking of taking a cake decorating class. Who knows I might be good at it and can then make some money from baking cakes.
