It has been 14 years!

It has been 10!!! years since I last blogged anything in this space! And a glorious 14 years since I started baking seriously! Times have changed! I became lazy?! 

Ok I stopped because my current house did not like me baking at odd hours and having icing sugared floors daily. So basically, I did not have any space to myself, for myself! So I packed everything! away and went on some travels and new adventures!

Then a surprise came to me in 2012, and then on I was busy being a mom. So yeah, I still cooked and baked, but nothing worth to mention!

So my DD is now going to be in middle school and life is less chaotic. We have settled into a nice daily routine and I have found some free time and I could actually blog again!

I will be posting pictures, descriptions and findings (perhaps) and maybe some recipes and photos, maybe.

I want to start blogging again because I have lost my typing speed, my writing is horrible, my vocabulary is shrinking.

These past few weeks have been amazing. I went to the store to get my baking things, to have them cleaned and ready and I saw myself in those boxes, full of hope.

My dream was to open a cafe style shop, selling cakes, breads, and pastries. Some coffee , teas and drinks. A place where people could chit chat. It would also have a beautiful green tropical garden for al-fresco dining. But, it is a dream. Which I hope DD would pursue when she is way older.

Back to the boxes! I saw my fondant tools, gum paste tools, moulds of all sorts, tart pans , cake tins, brownie trays! I was a happy person back then. Baking till wee hours of the morning, to fulfil orders for the next day. I was basically living my dream. 

Unsupported dreams like mine, end up in boxes in storage. But I am always thankful and very much grateful to God, giving me these skills, and also giving me the chance to have a little piece of my dream become a reality! Minus the cafe space! Looking back, I had everything I needed, all the best tools of the trade, but lacking knowledge. The journey never stopped. As I continued to bake and cook, but for personal consumption and for friends.

Now I am very happy too! I have the means to make this real. I am at the age where I still would like to try. Hence my sudden appearance in the blogosphere!

So I will now start blogging. To my new adventures!

HAppy New Year Folks!

Hey readers!

THanks so much for your support and constructive comments.

Too busy, unless it is some special order, then only will I post. This month onwards, I would just do a single post comprising f my works for the month, and only if they have that 'ooh and aah' factor to the readers : read : reader-worthy posts!
