Cake Adventures Continues

I had talked about starting my cake project a while back and had done
the second one - brown sugar pound cake with nuts. Now I am embarking
onto the 3rd one and am excited to do it this weekend. It will have
the special ingredient, sweet potato, which will need roasting in the
oven. And I bet my dad will dig it as he is partial to this root
vegetable.

Here is my take on the project so far. It is tiring, an
unflinching-feedback-process and absolutely FUN, FUN, FUN! I cannot
emphasize enough the joy and passion one feels when doing something
you absolutely adore and love.  My recordings on my journal had been
diligent and up to date so this helps with looking back on the lessons
learnt.

I also realized the tremendous amount of support friends are wiling to
give to me. Whether in terms of a store that sells better priced
ingredients or giving honest feedback after trying my stuff, these
little things help me on my journey as I delve deeper and deeper into
the world of cakes, pastries and bread.

All these serve to embolden me and increase the thickness of my 'hide'
which made me less vulnerable to failures. Good overall character
devlopment I must say! Haha.
