About me

Lavender Macaron

Well well, what can I say... Food's my life, "I LIVE TO EAT!" especially desserts (cakes & chocolates), that's why I appear like a giant working as a Stewardess. Haha... My love for pastries started during school days when I realized that I enjoy home economics, esp the practical where we get to cook hands-on! Deciding to major in a skilled job was easy for me as I knew what I wanted in life, to be surrounded by Cakes. To me, creating a cake is very theraputic. From making the sponge to the finer details of decorating the cake. And finally, taking a bite into my Oooo so delicious creation. Just makes my day! ......... I love Unagi... and Gulab Jamun (extremely sweet indian dessert but I think it's great) Squid is running for it's life... Not suitable for Vegetarians... Too many animals involved!
