A Baking love affair

I have always had a love for baking  since childhood. It started off at the age of 10 when my my mom wanted a recipe book , but she couldn't really afford  to buy one at the time, so she asked me to create one hoe instead using a hardcover book and pasting baking recipes from old magazines my mom kept.  I was delighted at taking up the task and would enthusiastically collect and plug recipes in my book , you could say it was my favorite new hobby to keep me busy .As soon as my my recipe book was  completed, Meme and began to make cake from  and l soon  started loving  baking , the feeling a  sense  of accomplishment . However ,we stopped baking recipes later  a few years later , which saddened me to be honest ,but it just made  my love for baking dormant , it never faded away 😊 ...

Place one layer on an 8-inch cardboard round; place the round on the turntable, securing it with a dab of buttercream. With a long serrated knife, trim tops off both cake layers to make flat surfaces. Step 2: Spread Filling Using a small offset spatula, evenly cover the top of the first layer with 1 cup of buttercream. Spread the buttercream so it extends beyond the edges of the cake. Step 3: Crumb Coat Place the other cake layer, with the cut side down, on top of the buttercream; press gently to make it level. With the small spatula, spread the cake with 1 1/2 cups more of the buttercream icing , plus any oozing out from between the layers, creating a "crumb c...

Electric beater  Up next we have the electric beater.
