successful cake baking experience

back from klang today. went straight to her house. the moment i passed the cake over her hands, it's like having a recap of the very smile i once saw, the sweetest smile i can see on her face. i knew she was happy, though i doubt that is she surprise to see me or not.

it's the first time i bake a cake. she is the lucky one to try it first before anyone else, including myself. i do hope to make an extra one for my family and friends, but due to the budget restraint, i will leave it to next time.

a home baked marble cheese cake for her birthday. a special present for a special person. i do hope she likes it. previously i was so depressed that i found no encouragement in baking this cake for her, i lost my initial aim to bake until yesterday. i knew that it doesnt matters when people appreciate you or not sometimes, especially if he/she is the special one for you, as long as you see her happy, it's the greatest gift of all. it seems easy to carry out such attitude towards such scenario, but when it comes to practical, it aint as easy as we thought.

while baking the cake, besides determined to fulfill my promise, i also hope the cake can put a smile on her face. i want her to be happy. the cake is baked not with depression anymore, not with love either, but with joy. i dont dare to hope for a chance, which for i knew, it is the slightest chance we might be together again. i will still wait though.

hope that every year from now, i can bake a cake for your birthday. this year's birthday, i hope it is a meaningful one for you.

the recipe book is a good recipe book. hope to photostat it for my own records. the thing i learnt in this cake baking experience is, a lot of tissues are needed.. haha.. tissues are needed to clean up my hand before movinig on to the next step in the baking process, tissues are needed to clean the oily equipment before using the equipment for other purposes, tissues are needed to wipe this and that. i owe you a lot of tissues sin tat. *laugh*

while having the biggest joy of baking the cake, the process still needs certain skills. thanks to my friend, sin tat and his mother, who gave me tips and share their experience of baking a cake. thanks to his family too for being supportive. thanks for bringing me to enjoy a nice bak kut teh breakfast at 'under the bridge' (according to the locals, it's how they called it). And today is the first time i drove on the NPE while driving back from klang. haha.. expensive. now i understand why my cousins who studied in taylor will complain about the toll expenses everytime they used the NPE.

photos of the cake will be posted on facebook. keke.. not many photos were taken because my hands were too oily and dirty to hold on to my phone along the baking process.
