Happy New Year everyone! I have not written anything for quite some time because I'm currently in my hometown. I was supposed to write about the Sinulog Festival here in Cebu, but due to bad weather, I was not able to go out and take photos and experience the celebration in the streets. Let's see if I can do this next year.
Another year has passed and I'm starting to worry because I haven't really done anything "financially" productive for over a year now. So yesterday I went to do a cake-baking course in one of the culinary arts center here in Cebu City. I have been watching a lot of cooking and baking shows lately and these made me realize that this might actually be my true calling. I had always been passionate about "creating" food and selling them to those who want to buy them. A few years back, when I was still based in Cebu, I had been making leche flan, polvoron, yema and puto cheese and selling them to friends and officemates. I only stopped when we moved to Australia.
The cake-baking class was fun and enjoyable. We were able to bake 4 kinds of chiffon cake and were able to try out simple decorating. It wasn't really part of the course but was just a bonus so our cakes got a little dressing up. Unfortunately, I was not able to bring my camera to class so I was not able to take any photos of the cakes in all their glory. I was only able to do so when I got home and after transporting the cake for 66 kms. The result is not so nice because the decorations were already smeared but still I would like to show them here as I was proud of what I achieved for just over 3 hours of work.
Next time when I'm already good, I will post some more photos of my future work. They may not be at par with Eric Lanlard's "glamour puds" but hopefully they would do me proud.
