I'm 19 at the moment, i LOVE to bake! i bake for my family all the time. I get the love of the kitchen from my mother who cooks at a deli for a living. Its nice to see people from other cultures enjoy authentic Dominican food. She cooks all the time with love. she hums all the time when cooking and naturally, i began to join her in the kitchen. as i got older, i made things myself. now, i cook for my family and friends! hmmm.... i love to bake carrot cake, flan, baked ziti, macaroni and cheese, tostones, fish and chips Making flan the night before visitors come over. Before we made it in the blender and combined everything with a fork, my mom used to let me open the cans of condensed milk and i got to lick the spoon after she was done with it! When i got older, i got sugar burning duty (which i also kept the spoon). I just like being in the kitchen cooking and eating (and busting a random move here and there) My first carrot cake from this site! I still get raves for it. And a cheesecake i made to which i still get raves about a "vanilla" cake that tasted like paper and i tried to make cookies once but ended up with a hard, flat sugar mess. One day cookies, one day.
