As I was growing up and first learned to bake, there were many
mistakes made. Mistakes, I had to throw out and start again. I
chalked that up as a learning experience. Didn’t make Mom or
Dad very happy, but, this is just the way I operate. How else are
ya gonna learn if there are not mistakes made. To this day, I still
make mistakes , mistakes of all kinds, and not just in bakng.
But, as I said, this is how you learn, or your suppose to learn.
From mine, I have learned. It isn’t easy sometimes making
mistakes in baking, with the way things are in today’s world.
With the price of everything, ya really cannot afford to make too many
mistakes. I can remember making biscuits from scratch one time.
OMG! They were hard as rocks! Even the dogs wouldn’t eat them.
Now, that’s bad. I heard about that for months.
But as time went on, I got better and better at my baking.
Yes, I am tooting my own horn;if I don’t , who will?
But , here, where I am from, it is a known fact that I am very good
at baking. I was called for a period of time as , The Cookie and Cake Lady.
This was through the town; and this town is very small. Most people
know me by name. I am very proud I have made such a good name for myself
when it comes to baking.
Anything I bake is loved by everyone. Most of what I bake and enter into
contest , win hands down. I always do my very best job, because the reflection
of the cake or whatever, always comes back on me. So, I give it my all.
