A Piece of Cake



One of the top things that I want to learn in the kitchen is baking. The task seems simple enough. You just have to mix butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and other ingredients together; and presto, you've got a delicious cake. Well, actually it's not that simple. It just looks simple when you watch professional pastry chefs get into it. But for a mere father like me, it's probably a tall order.
To be honest, I've never really had a chance to do any baking back in the Philippines. You see, one tool required for this task is an oven. And we didn't have that back. Here in Australia, the oven came with the house that we rented. So aside from roasting, which was another thing that we couldn't do back then , I decided that I will finally learn baking. I didn't care if I could easily buy a cake cheaper than buying the ingredients I would need to make my own. This doesn't even include the hard that I'll probably exert to make it.
Anyways, hopefully it would be a piece of cake once I had enough practice. I'll keep you posted.
