I haven't baked in quite a while because I have a little blessing that keeps me quite busy everyday 😊. So last week I decided let me try out a new cake recipe for my birthday. So yesterday all was going well, Skye was sleeping and halfway through making the batter for the cake she wakes up. I then realised juggling a newborn and baking cake is actually hard work πŸ˜‚. Nevertheless, I got the cake in the oven. I didn't get round to ice the cake until late the evening when my husband could hold her a bit and keep her company. There is a reason why cakes should be completely cooled and set before you ice them πŸ™ˆ. I opted for plain caramel and ganache because I just didn't have the energy to make buttercream icing and to decorate the cake like I usually would have. As I iced the cake, I could see a disaster happening in front of my eyes πŸ˜‚ why? Because the cake was still too fresh to ice. So as I iced, the cake came with the spatula πŸ˜‚ I ended up demotivated haha and told my hubby I should have just gotten myself a choc chip muffin from MUGG & BEAN SA (because their muffins are life 😍)

I can safely say that no, I am not ready to take orders again even though I thought I was. But hopefully in a couple of months time I can open up my diary again to take orders and make tummies and hearts happy 🌻

P.S. the cake still tastes good 😁

Where it all began..

I had a sweet tooth since I can remember, and there wasn’t a better treat than a giant choc chip or blueberry muffin or an extra big slice of cake (no half slices ;)). I only baked on occasion and gradually started baking more because I found it very therapeutic - especially once I started studying.

As soon as I started working, the baking escalated to a next level because I had my own money to buy ingredients, walk around at food markets, scroll through Instagram and Pinterest for ideas and also a boyfriend (now husband) who was and is always willing to taste and be the guinea pig. He always supported me (and still does) every step of the way which is a huge motivating factor.

I always had this vision of opening my own bakery, making sure people experience the same love for cake and baked goods as me. Starting this online baking store is a big leap of faith, juggling a permanent job by day and baking at night. Nonetheless, there is nothing more heartwarming than being able to put a smile on someone’s face so why not do it with something that tastes and looks good as well?
