| Birthday Cakes & Best Friends
Baking birthday cakes isn’t a piece of cake for me. I make it seem like it is, but it isn’t. Early on, i vowed never to bake cakes (and sell them) but alas, I was young, overconfident, and very sure of myself. You see, it’s practically impossible to not bake a cake in one's lifetime when you bake because you love. The thing is, I remember every cake I’ve ever baked;
The pink one
The cola one
The Cupcake Jemma one
The stone one
The brownie one
And the list goes on…
You see, I remember every cake I’ve baked and whom I’ve baked it for.
You see, my problem is the ‘whom’.
I have an unusual habit of loving too much, and that ‘too much’ translates into things like making hot chocolate, and for those very special folks, baking a birthday cake.
The kind of cakes I’d dread making.
The kind of cakes I would hide away from if it ever came knocking at my door.
But love doesn’t let you hide away, does it?
Cakes aren’t my love, but the people I bake them for are. And so I continue to bake because to me love and art are the same, it’s mixing flour and butter, melting chocolate, lining tins, and the list goes on.
I love so I bake.
Like I baked ‘The Work Buddies’ and ‘The Meghna’.
Like I bake anything and everything, with love
Because I guess it's all about love in the end, isn't it?
