But it was not until the summer of 2011 when I took the first step towards that direction. What have I done with this passion I have in baking? I realized that rather than waiting until I am no longer capable, I should act now and work seriously towards my dream. That's when I started taking pastry training classes after work. Even though they were physically exhausting at times, I found myself en
joying each minute of every class. No matter how stressful my work day might be, I would always be excited to go home and try another recipe. With my frequent amount of baking, I began sharing my baking with my family, friends, and coworkers. Their praise and encouragements not only reconfirms my talent in baking, but also gave me confidence of which I was previously lacking. Thinking back, one of the main reason that stopped me from taking up pastry training seriously was because I did not believe in myself. I looked around at my friends who were a lot more talented at baking than I was, and I doubted my own abilities. What pushed me to take this leap of faith was knowing that I do not need to compare myself with others. There are room in this world for many bakers. As I continue on my journey, I would like to invite you to come visit me on facebook and at www.bakebakegirl.com where you will find updates on what I'm up to. Love,
Maggie
