My love for baking started when my son was born. His birthdays were celebrated with a birthday cake made by one of my sis-in-laws. It dawned on me that if she can bake a cake so can I.
I started experimenting and looked up books and magazines for recipes which was easy to follow. One experiment led to another and I soon gathered enough courage to demonstrate my so called `acquired skills’ to bake a birthday cake for my son. Being an amateur did not stop me from baking a cake replicating a football field, complete with ‘goal posts and men playing on the field’. The cake came out perfect and so did the icing on the cake or so it seemed to be in the eyes of the beholder.
Your cakes are always perfect in the eyes of the beholder (not to mention in my stomach too). Thanks, mum.

Mine started out with home made pandan cakes then blackforest cakes. Somewhere along the way, I grew averse to all cakes.
Happy birthday!
Maybe dinner at Werner’s sometime soon where we can toast to you with proper beer?
@Hobart No lah, copyright/trademark issues. Football field is fine by me, but my mum hasn’t made one of those in years. I think partly ‘cos I don’t have a Subbuteo set any more!
@Qinz Werner’s… yah, soon. Tell me when.
Nice cake by your mum Kenneth. So your birthday is coming up soon eh? I guess once a mummy’s apple of the eye, always the apple of the eye. Do you know that my mum still calls me “boy” at 36 years of age!
My wife and I are also going to order a theme cake for my son, who is a little younger than you at 3 years of age. His will probably be a purple, pink and blue coloured fairy castle like cake. I will take a picture and blog about it.
Heheh… yup, your son is just a bit younger than I am. I’m sure he’ll love the cake.
