It was the first, fun and memorable baking experience for me and JE.....
I use to dream of -- to prepare home baked cupcake or muffin for my kids! It just one of thing I was missing for the past until today! Am I realy motherly type? Er.... puzzled!! This dream has been kept in my heart for years until recently I have decided to get a baking recipe book from one of the book store. Wow, those cakes in the book look delicious but one question from my mind -- how should i start???
my style -- the more I think the more I will back out! In fact, i have kept the book untouched for about 2 weeks -- still finding excuses for myself such as busy, tired, so on.... However, my little JE will sometime throw me question - mummy, when we are going to bake for our own cupcakes?
Today I must fulfill this dream -- bringing out the book along and plan to sneak out to shop for baking ingredient while JE is attending for her english lessons. Opps! today is JE's speech day but we were late for it.... Once the teacher saw us, she quickly ask JE to prepare and proceeding to the stage for her speech -- the whole process took less than 30 minutes. I was so impressed that JE could performed so steadily and calm on the stage, she do not even need a rehersal!! oh gosh..... how powerful she is!!
Yeah, time to get back to the right rack - searching for baking ingredient. Of course JE also came along with me. I have been driving around the school area , still cannot locate any baking supplies shop. I was telling myself, properly today is not the good day to do baking -- another excuse again :P However, JE was so insisted to have baking today, yeah yeah, i must not to give up too -- be a good example, right!!
(My heart was questioning -- It's that real??)
"Give me five !!!!", we got to the place finally!! We were so happy to walk into the shop. Wow, the shop was so crowded, many ingredient on the shelves almost half gone!! Can't imagine today's people like baking a lot ya......Or they also share the same dream as I do???
(Think too much!!!!) Suddendly one question from JE - Mummy, which direction should we go? What items we need to buy? I was stucked as I do not know how to start to shop for my ingredient -- first time i encouter more than 6 or 7 types baking flour, etc..... how to choose
(was cracking my head). At that moment, looking into JE's eye and she seem like telling me -- Mummy, should we start buying items now?? She really can't wait to go back to bake for her own cupcake. Yeah yeah, i cannot make her disappointted, acting confidently and steadily. I have picked those basic baking stuff (I think) and keeping my fingers crossed that everything is going well later.
Once reached home, we were ready for the baking -- follow instruction from the books by mixing all ingredient, in fact some just happen by guessing.... It finally done, our final product was out, not bad for the first trial -- so happy and satisfied. Now is the time for us to enjoy our home baked choclate chip mini cupcake..... We were so proud, hubby said nice too and hope he was telling the truth... hahaha :)
The only reason to make me feel home~~~
