a mom of 3 kids ages 11, 8 and 7.... creative & have a big time passion for my hobby of cake decorating. I love cooking dishes as well and have tried many recipes here on allrecipes. by the way, I'm Jessica! I love baking and cooking from scratch...making desserts (any kind), chicken and fish dishes, red meat and seafoods. I also like to experiment with pastas. On holidays and birthday celebrations, it's always Baked Tuna Lasagna, Chicken Pastel, Fruit Cake, Siopao (chinese steamed buns) and Embutido (meatloaf). When I have perfected baking cakes and making frostings and icings which eventually led to cake decorating. I'm proud to say I learned it all by myself. I once "microwaved" 5 eggs (to make hard boil) for one minute and they exploded inside the oven... boy, it was one hell of an explosion and it was one hell of a mess. first time ever done that and will never do that again.... luckily the eggs exploded safely inside the microwave.
