Baking is no doubt an art by itself.I always had a liking to make cakes and do icing myself.When my children were small they accepted whatever I make for their birthdays and it was then I really learnt baking and icing with much of trial and error and that's how I mastered making a Black Forest Cake with a lot of patience.As they grew up they preferred ordering outside,but still they relish whatever I bake.
I like trying new recipes and Muffins and Pies were on the hit list as the trays were also ready.I was finally satisfied with the results too.
