I never thought will write anything about cake. Cooking is my hobby, but I'm a vegetarian..simply because I a really big animal lover (except cockroaches in any kinds and the friends, but I think they're insect..oh whatever..I don't like them). So, in Indonesia I cooked for myself and my son...people (family and friends) tried my dishes and asked "what is it ?" I explained and they said...."Oh, without meat/chicken/shrimps/etc...will be delicious with meat/chicken/shrimps/etc".
I never felt I can cook, until I met my husband (he's a vegetarian too). First think I told him...I can't cook. He said, cook is easy if you know the recipe.
He came to Indonesia, ate my dishes and said delicious. Surprised !!!!
I moved to America, more people said...."You're a good cook".."This is delicious, are you sure this is vegetarian ?"..many kind like that. Feel confident about cooking :)
I started to look something I always want to learn.....pastry !!!
All kind of pastry, don't ask me how many time I failed ! My husband begged me to promise not to make puff pastry again...LOL. But I kept practice....until I can make good pastry. And people compliment me about my pastry....very flaky, very light and taste soooo good. What next ? CAKE...
I couldn't bake a cake before..too dry, to wet, sunk, crumbly, etc....
Decorate a cake ? Nothing in my mind....I just want to bake a delicious plain cake.
Many times failed, looking for best recipe....I found my own recipe....moist, delicious and sturdy.
Tried to decorate for July 4th, 2011....I'll upload the pic in this blog, but please please don't laugh ! After that cake, I started my journey in the cake world.
Still newbie and need learning and ask to many cake expert.
