I've been seriously doing a lot of research on baking and also been buying lots of stuff to get my baking career started.
It's quite tough to find a baking partner especially when one is just starting out.. Like me! Hahaha. I normally bake under my mother's supervision which sorts of acts as an assurance that nothing really really horrible will go wrong. And when I try baking myself, everything will somehow end up quite wrong ... It might be out of shape, it may not turn out to be as spongy as I hoped, it may even be over-baked! Lol. How unfortunate such series of incidences are.. And how sad they all have to fall upon me D:
My elder brother on the other hand seems to behold an extraordinary talent which enables him to bake and cook like no other. Back then I've never seen him touch a single kitchen utensil before ... But now when he does, his dishes turn out orgasmic. Life is so unfair. I thought as a girl, I might have some kind of 6th-sense intuition when it comes to baking/cooking, but oh how wrong I've been. Hahaha.
I've been bugging my elder brother to sort of bake with me but his schedule is really complicated. Needless to say my mother is never free when I'm free. I've been teaching tuition as my part time job and it is always in the evening or late afternoon because I've got to wait for their school hours to end. And there is this one child which I've to teach for 3hrs straight! So you can tell what kind of hectic life I have D: Hubby has been a real dear, accompanying and supporting me all the way .. However when it comes to baking, he seems to be able to dodge that subject entirely. Amazing ain't it?
So what to do but learn from the pros on the Internet! And I've been really serious in this arena, studying techniques, ingredients and different baking/cooking styles.
In addition, once Hubby and I have our own condo, we are going to ask a few of his students to come live with us and if I don't know how to cook/bake by then, God so help me.. I'm as good as dead! Hahahaha. So really I'm super into this.
Oh wells.. I'm still going to try it nonetheless! Haha wish me luck! Toodles~ :)
