The strongest impression from my childhood was the cake  my best friend's father baked for her 5-th birthday. I remember a tiny room full of excited kids waiting for the birthday cake...and here it comes- all big, colourful, decorated with some animals, trees and candles. It looked like a cake from a fairy-tale! I was stunned and in love with the cakes since then. My mom and my grandmother were always baking something sweet and I used to  watch them anticipating to try a first slice of their creation. I started taking initiative at the kitchen when I was around 10 - first baking simple cakes, pies, tarts, experimenting with various types of dough and flavours. The uttern pleasure for me was to cook for my B-day and then invite my teenage friends to try it out. They were always excited about dessert, just like I was at that friend's birthday. I tried at least 500 different recipes since then and I still can't get enough of it. My weakest link so far is professional decoration. That's why I decided to start keeping this blog. I have a strong desire to learn several decoration techniques while also mastering my baking skills. The first step will be taking "Marzipan and wedding cakes' decoration" course next month. I am also going to buy all baking accessories quite soon. And here starts the journey....
