i am a writer who happens to be good at baking. i love baking breads, making desserts, as well as making any pasta dish. In my family, pasta is always present. No matter that the food theme of any particular party is say, Filipino, or Chinese. There's always spaghetti with meatballs, or classic carbonara, or spinach lasagne. I've made and decorated five (three-tiered) wedding cakes all on my own in one summer when the only previous experience I've had with wedding cakes was a stacked styrofoam model in cooking school wherein I worked with two other people. two years ago, i decided to try making an angel food cake without knowing anything at all about whipping egg whites. needless to say, my angel food cake collapsed.
