“Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.”
Baking is my passion. Baking is my memory. Baking heals me. Baking makes me feel good. Baking makes me feel alive. Baking makes me smile.
I bake when I'm stressed. I bake when I'm sick. I bake when I'm sad. I bake when I'm busy. I bake when I'm free. I bake whenever I want because this is my obsession. My life.
Today, I baked this rainbow cake. No one knows how happy I am to make a six layers of gorgeous colorful cake. Red,purple,blue,green,orange and yellow. They are the colors of our life. Life is so colorful. Yeah, that's why rainbow cake is one of my favorite cake to bake. Every time I bake it, I feel so satisfied.
I love to bake, but I don't like to eat cakes. Weird? No it's not. It's just me. I don't like eating something that I bake, but I'm happy when people eat them. I baked since I was in school,but it wasn't this often. My sister, Kak Ngoh, she's the one that taught me how to make a chocolate cake. I always stand beside her when she's baking. My first cake was a chocolate cake. I still remember how happy I am when I made it. Yes. I made it!
I love the smell of baking. The smell of chocolate (especially). The smell of vanilla. The smell of butter. The smell of eggs. They all make up a memory. They remind me of my home. My family. My sisters. My brothers. Remind me of the smell of hari raya. The smell of us preparing the food for raya. Girls prepare cookies, cakes and boys prepare ketupat, satay,lemang etc. How I miss all that. That's why every time I bake, I feel I'm home.
Yeah, being far from my family makes me bake more often. No matter what I'm baking,when and where, I feel I'm near to them. It's a pleasure. It's a contentment. It's a joy.
And tomorrow is hari raya Aidil Adha. This gonna be my first time celebrating Aidil Adha in Dunedin. And for sure, I'll bake!
Selamat hari raya Aidil Adha semua :)
