During my recent home trip, I pestered mom to teach me how to bake a cake. She gave me the look, "Oh sure! Never thought you'd ever ask." *exciting* Mom suggested I start with cupcakes first and once I succeed, then only I bake cakes. So, we spent the afternoon baking.
The cupcakes were turned out perfect. Beginner's luck, hehe. But I can't believe the amount of sugar used to bake cupcakes. No wonder kids love it cos it's so sweet. I also realized baking isn't difficult at all. I just need to follow the recipe step-by-step.
