Second Chance

Hi, everyone. This is my first blog. I always like to write, but for so long I do not know how to channel my hobby. :)
When I met Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella at Faye Cahill's cake class last year, I am determine to share my thought and feeling thru a blog.
And here I am 4 months after giving birth to my second child, gathering my courage to start punching the keyboard.
I always like to bake, in yesteryear I always said that I love baking but I hate cooking. Eventhough now I cook more than I bake due to the wifey duty, but honestly, I was a terrible cook and baker.
I remember my Dad even calling an intervention for me to stop wasting money and hurting everyone's palate in the family by stop baking.
Yes, I did follow his advice for some years, but after I had Nathanael, cake starts calling me back. This is my first "fancy" cupcake for Nate's first birthday back in 2009

Taste ok, but the mess is unbearable. And I am always thankful to my dearest husband who is so understanding with my "sickness"- messy, cluttered and disorganized- you name it.
:(
Since that day, I never look back. I know that making cake (now it's more like decorating cake) is my passion.

I do not know how but seems like God had forgiven me as a fail baker and start giving me this ability to bake and decorate.
How different is the first cupcake to my cupcake today, 2 years later.

I know, it's still not perfect but I thank God every day that He made me to where I am now. I thank my husband, my support system (sons, family and friends) for giving me words of encouragement and chance to bake. Change me from a cake wrecker to a cake maker
