Passion for Cooking
I‘ve always liked to “have a finger in the pie” since I was young. When there was a party in my family, like a birthday, or at Christmas for example, my mother always used to cook cakes for the occasion and I was very happy!I preferred cooking rather than playing with my toys, so I put all my dolls away to help my mother to bake cakes. Obviously I loved eating them! Cooking is my passion, and when I cook I feel relaxed . I prefer cooking cakes to pies because I have a sweet tooth. I like especially making chocolate cakes because there is also an artistic side involved I have made lots of chocolate cakes especially for my family, my boyfriend and my friends who often ask me to make them one . When I see that they all finish the cake, I feel very proud.
What is The Art of Cake Design?
Cake designing is becoming very popular . This new trend consists in composing master pieces of art, by decorating cakes. We need a lot of creativity to make nice cakes and also beautiful cakes with flowers, decorations, royal icing and colorants. When I made my first cake I was very excited because I had never made one with royal icing and flowers. Fortunately it was delicious and beautiful.
I really hope to become a good cake designer one day .For lots of people making cakes in not only a hobby, they think that it is also a way to communicate, another way to express their artistic talent and cooking ability too, and it is also considered a challenge.
Inspiration from TV Shows
In fact today there are many TV programs on this theme, also realities like “Bake off”, or “Cake boss”. On these TV programs the challengers compete in making the best cake; or there is a “boss” that on a precise request bakes personalized and very beautiful cakes. I often follow these programs because I like them and also because I take inspiration from them for my future cakes.
