Okay...my mood now has swung into baking! Never crossed in mind that baking is so fun and interesting! Before this, baking was not in the list of my interests! I'm more keen with outdoor activities, especially those adventurous activities, as you know, so baking is definitely out from my mind.
How then I pick up the interest of baking? It started from Taiping actually. Whenever I happened to visit Simon's parents in Taiping, I used to spend time to chit-chat with mum-in-law while watching her baking the cakes. There is no doubt that she can make perfect cakes and biscuits! If you had ever tried on Simon's mum's home baked cake, you know why we don't want to miss to bring the cakes back to our home! After sometimes, I was just thinking since I like her cakes so much, why don't I try to bake it at home? From there, the beria-ia interest of baking started.......
I started to bake the basic butter cakes....and now trying to bake different types of cake by referring to the recipes from internet =D I used the recipes as a guideline, but I also modified the ingredients along the way...well...can we call this as Experiment also???hehehehe.....
I remembered that on the first time when I checked on my home baked cake, I was shocked and ended up with laughter!hahaha!!(My hubby was laughing on that too!!!) 1st time experience...the cake supposed to be butter cake, but it turned out like a pancake!!!!ohmmm!!! You may check on the pic below....geeee....I knew that we should use oven to bake cake, but I just would like to try it on the microwave. The cake appeared so 'ugly' and not tempting at all~~~~ Ah is okay...we can perfect it slowly after some practices...=D just...no more microwave again!!!
Once a week, I'll bake cake, either the same type from the previous one or the new type. I just want to perfect my skill in baking. Besides filling up my spare times (since no shopping center for me to hang around and no gerai2 makan pisang goreng/ubi goreng for me to fill up my stomach), I can serve my hubby with my yummy home baked cakes (no matter how bad the taste is, he definitely won't complain and this is the best altitude of him *wink*)! Yummy.....which I hope.... ;)
My next type of cakes to bake? Pandan sponge cake, classic cheese cake, carrot cake..................
