Baked with Love

Its easy to remember the date: 24 Dec 2012
This day i baked my first cake..:) its such a wonderful feeling . I was worried at first, will i spill when i mix it, am i doing it too slow or is it too fast..did i miss something?..will it be cooked inside? why the color is not changing? Oh no is that a burnt color?..should i beat the icing meanwhile?.. so many questions ...thanks to my expert mentor..i ended up being confident about my cake.


The first time you bake a cake it must be the same kind of feeling when you have to make a speech ...Ha..isnt that a strange comparison.. As strange it might sound...when u put your cake batter into oven..that 25- 30 mins wait time, for the first time that anxiousness , the tension is same as you have when you are in back stage waiting for your turn for to go to make speech. Every 10 mins i used to look through the oven glass to see if its coming up fine, did the color change.. This was a important cake for me :)..And to my surprise it came out really well....and all that wait paid off with a beautiful cake . The best part was the feeling  you get when u decorate the cake , i loved it . The cake becomes the canvas and i become the artist :) .

 This is to declare I am a proud a baker of a Christmas cake and hopefully for many more cakes to come...;)



PS: I repeated the magic for New years eve too..But the first cake always remains the special one:)
