I started baking a couple of weeks ago and I have not stopped since. I knew nothing about baking prior to that. I have tried various recipes, from cakes to breads to Chinese steamed cakes.
Last night, I baked a marble cake. In my own assessment, it was a pretty good one and it would have been perfect if not for that wee bit more of vanilla essence in it. I was so pleased with the output and I was hoping N would appreciate it too. But, no, she was hesitant to pack it for school.
Me “ Nicole, you don’t like the marble cake? I thought this is what you wanted. Sweet but not too sweet and it has the beautiful chocolate swirls in it”
N “ Ya. I like it. It is nice but I don’t feel like bringing it to school tomorrow. Can I just eat it at home?”
Me “ Why? I can sense that you don’t like it. Can you tell me why?”
N “ Err….actually, we will be having a children’s day celebration tomorrow and there are better things to eat”
I was speechless :(
