Baking Class

Yesterday was the first time I attended a baking class!! It was very fun but tiring. Patrick (the teacher) was a humourous and fun guy and when he knew I'm pregnant, he asked my partner to wash all the utensils as the washing area is wet and he is afraid that I will fall down. Anyway, I NEARLY fell down near the fridge area and they banned me from going there after that. -_-"

I will definitely attend again!! :)

Check out the cakes that I baked last nite!! I have not tried my creation yet, tonight will try the ice-cream cake and see how it taste. Both cakes smell nice! :)
