I believe everyone has got a hidden talent within and it takes a journey of self discovery to be able to tap into it.
As a girl growing up in a house where you are mostly alone, I read a lot and loved to draw, paint or decorate things. At a point I thought I was going to end up as an Architect or a Fashion designer, so it wasn't a huge surprise to me when I fell in love with baking cakes and decorating them.
My cake journey began when I was in my second year in the University about 5years ago,(check out my later post for my first cake making experience) although I wasn't too serious with it until after graduating because one needed full concentration to one's academic work and much more when you are studying to be a Pharmacologist, you need all the concentration you can muster LOL, and I never thought I had it in me until it happened.
I started out baking for friends and family and I improvised a lot especially when I couldn't get a hold of the tools to decorate. This helped me adapt as I schooled and lived in a place where the most modern tools for baking are not readily available or are too expensive to purchase.
I like to think that the art of Cake making found me and not me pursuing it as I have never trained in any cake baking school but only dwell on my own innovations and recipes. This happened after I had been baking based on recipes sourced on the Internet.
I decided to start a blog in 2013 to inspire others like me out there who wants to venture into cake making or any other ventures and are looking for motivation or a source of inspiration. But the yearning for a 100% 'my own content' led me to delete the blog and created this blog that contains 100% of my work.
Tapping into your inner talent can only occur when you begin to look inwards and realize that you are really good at something you didn't even have to sit in a classroom for.
So far, I can say that I have really improved and still improving as I strive to keep focused on this journey I have begun. Its not been easy as I have constantly strayed along the way, but I have decided to keep focused thanks to the constant nudge from a supportive partner and pray to God to lead me on as I journey through this spongy, dense, moist, frosty, icy, (LOL- pardon my cakey illustration ) road to actualizing my cake dreams.
Hope you find this inspiring and continue to follow my blog. Thanks for visiting!
