Hi Bloggers! We have started this account after a late night of gossiping, watching movies and talking about our futures and our dream of owning our own cake shop together. So we decided to do something about it and share our journey with the internet world!
We are both 20 year old uni students, following a different path - but we have shared the same dream and passion since high school. We both take pride in our work, but our perfectionism and stress can get the better of us at times. So we are guessing there is going to be a lot of flops in the kitchen, as well as food wastages and lots of blood (hopefully not in the cakes), sweat and tears! We hope to master the tricks of the trade and learn all the secrets to successfully baking mouth watering masterpieces!
We both hosted and organised our first event last weekend - a baby shower for our dear friend! We mentioned stress and perfectionism before... well it definitely got the better of us last weekend! There were plenty of tears and food wasteages. We attempted macaroons which were a fail... a coconut cream layered cake which burnt on the outside but didn't cook in the middle... chocolate that kept burning... piping bags that weren't cooperating... cupcakes that were sinking... icing and fondant that wasn't behaving... and butterflies that were melting in the heat! And to top it all off, we also had to deal with other non-food related dramas, plus car troubles - at this point we were tearing our hair out!!!
After all that, we some how managed to present beautiful pink cupcakes, ginger nut biscuits, quiches and a chocolate cake that looked as though it was decorated by a kindergartener (but it still tasted amazing). So the baby shower was a success and everyone enjoyed themselves and we still have a bit of hair left! After all the stress, dramas and just wishing for the weekend to be over... we still had fun and it motivated us to get off our bums and stop procrastinating (another one of our down falls) and to make our dream a reality!!!
After our weekend we have learnt that we still have a lot to learn - but we have the determination and passion to keep going. Walt Disney once said "If you dream it, you can do it".
So keep posted for the next chapter where we're sure the drama will continue...
