I only had one requirement to accept an order and that was that I would be inspired by the customer or else I knew my creation would fail and believe me it has happened. Of course the clients didn't know this. ^_^
I still get asked until this day if I can accept orders and of course I would politely decline. So my spankingly brand new La Germania Tabletop oven sits lonely in the kitchen waiting for me to shower it with love.
Recently, I got to bake one of my best buys which was the Red Velvet Cupcake and it was hit with my graduating training class.
I suddenly remembered all the cakes and cupcakes I created and all the heartaches in between. I was earning quite good with the small business but totally exhausting.
It was also very costly especially when you had to test recipes before offering them to clients, I started with a small oven and 2 baking pans which has now grown to baking tools that can only fit into an extra large tupperware.
I do feel sad that with my full time job, this little passion of mine has been put on hiatus but I know that I'll be going back to that beautiful shining oven waiting for me.
Wow!! Those look too stunning to eat!!! Now I know where I can order should the need arise *wink wink* :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sis! I'm kinda retired na sa baking scene since I have no time on my hands to make cakes but don't worry I'll let everyone know if I decide to jump back in hehe.
