Made an Oreo Cheesecake on Friday night after work just for the sake of doing it. Heh. Lost touch with baking for a while now, but i'm glad I did it on Friday. Turned out pretty nice, even though its not the best but i'm satisfied with the outcome, given the fact that it's my first time, and that I wasn't exactly mentally prepared to bake that day.
Baking is pretty fun, when I feel like doing it. And I came to realize, after all these time, I always bake for the same reason, sort of, and I only bake for people that have proved to matter, those that I care for and those that are important to me. Only came to this realization recently and i'm pretty surprised with that. Haha
I don't bake like a pro. For sure. But I definitely bake with love and joy. I still believe that only that two special and priceless ingredient allows your end product to be flawless, even with imperfections. I still believe people can taste the difference and are able to feel the effort in every bite.
I guess the reason why I only feel like baking and only want to bake for certain people is simply because its my way of expressing myself, to let them know that they matter to me. Friends and family alike. So if you receive something that I baked, even though its not perfect, please know that you mean something to me okay! Hahaha. ^^
Definitely have something else to do next after I made the Oreo Cheesecake. Wrote down a few more desserts in my bucket list and i'm looking forward to doing it soon! The first one would have to be Soufflé a la vanille, or Vanilla soufflé. Don't really know if i'm getting the name right, neither do I know how to pronounce it but it's just a dessert that came to my mind together with Crème brûlée when I first thought of doing classic french desserts. Definitely not thinking too highly of myself by the sudden feel for french desserts, just thought it'll be fun and I really wanted to eat these two. Hehe
I've only tried Crème brûlée once at four seasons hotel and honestly I can barely remember what it tasted like anymore, which is why I thought, what better than to do it myself? ^^ As for the soufflé, I don't know if the original, traditional recipe includes vanilla or not but it seems to be the case for the recipe that i've found so i've decided to settle for it, even if it might not be the most traditional recipe.
So yeah these are my plans for baking in the near future and i'm sure it'll be fun. :)
xoxo
