I have always been a big fan of people that can make amazing cakes. I salute them on how they can imagine and execute thru them. How I wish I can do that too. So everytime I plan my daughter's birthday parties I always make it a point that I order the best cake (well at least the best that suits my budget) the bakery can make. Cakes are always the highlight of every party and parties will never be complete without a cake and that's what I love about them.
April of 2011 when my friends Kristi, Lheng and I decided to try baking as a hobby. Well, Kristi at that time started her own cookie business called Kookies Rock. She then shared to us her knowledge on how to bake. Of course the basics like always sift the dry ingredients first before mixing with the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer on low first before adding the powdered sugar (trust me on this!) and mix dry, wet, dry, wet then end up with dry ingredients when mixing them. Somehow you get the idea what basics are right? Yea, Kristi got that all covered for Lheng and I. After the successful baking session it led me to be inspired on checking out food blogs all over the internet for recipes that I personally wanted to try. The first impression I had was "Wow!!! What an amazing picture this is!!". I fell in love with pictures of food from blogs and also how they share it with people like me (a newbie) a step by step photo recipe on how they came up with the finished product.
The same time I began my addiction with food blogs was also the time I start baking whoopie pies and selling them to people. Everyone loved those whoopie pies! For those who haven't heard about whoopie pies, they are two cake like cookies that have a froating in between them. Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting was the hit among all whoopies. So, since I made money out of selling those bad boys I was like...why not go to the next level????
My next dilemna was what should I focus my baking on?.... Since you all know that baked goods covers a lot of grounds like cakes, cupcakes, cookies, bread and so on and so forth. I then realized that everyone celebrates birthdays and what is perfect for birthdays??? CAKES!!! So, ok... let me do cakes as my focal point... Hold on... what should I name it? Well, since I love cakes and I love how Chloe (my daughter) run around and interfere with my baking (hahahah!) why not name it Chloe Cakes! and besides who inspires me the most to the best but her. So, there you go. I am all set. I have a name and I have my vision. To create cute and amazing cakes. I am just new to this so I hope I can do it. Stay tune as I explore this world of Cakes!!!
