the beginning of cake ...

OK so as I've said before I LOOVVEEE cake !!!

here is a little more insider info on exactly how my love for cake came about ...
first things first...
me becoming a chef was not how it was meant to go down according to my 16year old self ...
I was going to become a forensic pathologist, I took all the clever subjects that were needed you know to prepare my brain and stuff ..
how this eventually equated to me becoming a pastry chef is still a mystery to me ..

I'd say about mid way through my matric year was my "AAAHHH"*shining beam of light down on my head* moment ..where it all fell into place and I was destined to be a chef , I knew I loved food and that was it ! ..

so being me I did a little research and found the best place possible to help live out my dream !

the most exciting part of it all was that I was moving cities and was going to make so many new and interesting friends... which I'm happy to say was exactly how it worked and I'm still good friends with a few of the quirky lot I met in the sunny city!!

so the FIRST day arrives and it feels like the FIRST day of school all over again.. you know a BUZZ in the air ...
butterflies in my tummy everybody checking everybody out .. guys looking at the girls and vice verse... everybody you know just surveying everybody ...

then comes day two where we are all in our stark white uniforms, silly hats, innocent smiles on our faces not knowing what to expect..
all of us having a very striking resemblance to the Pillsbury dough boy ..

all in all I think the cleanest we ever were for the duration of our time in the wonderful place and I say wonderful with all the fibre of my being as it was and will always be one of the happiest times in my life... and the memories and laughs I take from those days I wish I could relive always and forever . don't get me wrong it was damn hard work and I'm sure I did my fair share of bitching and moaning but it was still awe inspiring!!

and so my LLOOOOVVVEEE of cake begins !
