So, I've been baking since I was a little girl, but a few years ago I started doing as a side hustle. It turned into a real nightmare. I'm really perfectionist and at the time I didn't know how to manage my business nor my emotions in a healthier way, so everything related to baking started triggering me.
After a few years I'm much better now and my bf's bday was coming so without telling anyone I decided I would bake some cakes ✨ I didn't rush any process, I took my time so I didn't have to run. I bought every ingredient and a few spare just in case and I did my mise en place with calm and care. And most important, I tried to not care about the mistakes in the aesthetics of it all xd
I was so happy observing how everyone was enjoying my cakes and telling how yummy they were. I wish to keep baking in the future, not as a chore or an obligation but as the hobby I've always enjoyed doing and learning and as a way to show my love for the people I care for.
I wanted to share it here as they last cake I made I also posted it here and wanted to share my story with you all. I didn't have time to take better pics, but I'm so proud of them! Thank you for your time ♥
Now for the cakes:
Chocolate cake with ganache chocolate filling and almonds.
Lemon blueberry cake with lemon diplomatic cream and candied oranges.
Banana cake filled with cream, dulce de leche, bananas and meringue kisses.
Carrot cake with nuts and raisins filled with creamcheese frosting.
