Hello from Lelo

From time to time we find things we are interested in, but often enough our interest fades.... For me baking is not one of these things. As a child I was surrounded by baking, a part from all my mom's arts and craft projects she picked up, she also baked and decorated cakes for weddings and other occasions... It was baking, baking, baking, and the smell of cakes in the air all the time... My interest in cakes began with me staying up late in the night with my mom simply observing (and occasionally catching the pieces of cake cut off for levelling).... Little by Little I picked up the names of certain ingredients and techniques...I understood the difference between using a spoon to stir and a fork to whip. My mother is somewhat of a control freak when it comes to baking, so when she finally decided to let me sieve sugar or separate eggs, I was thrilled. I slowly started to bake things on my own; beginning with a plain yellow cake… this cake sealed the deal for me... It married me to baking forever.  This cake was soft and perfect… I had succeeded at my first try, but not only that,  I loved the idea that I created something…  I was the one who did it… all on my own… and the smiles and stuffed tummies….  I did that.     

My baking however has now taken a new form… I am now focusing on Cupcakes :) … I have always liked cupcakes, due to the fact that it was the same cake I loved…  but can be shared easier. Each cupcake demands a certain amount of care which I don’t mind giving.  Cupcakes make me excited, when talking about it my eyes double in size and I get filled with adrenaline… my closer friends are already use to this side of me and now find it simply entertaining. ... 

The love I have for baking is not one I shy away from... Instead I nourish it… I keep practicing and keep loving everything I do … baking keeps me happy … and my baking keeps other’s tummies happy.. so what more can I really ask for?
