When I make a cake, I always make sure that my family will love it. It’s really different now. When I was younger and thoughts of having a family haven’t even reached my mind, I cooked for myself. Living with a few friends in an apartment during college was just that. We rarely even saw each other because we have part-time jobs and different class schedules. It was really more of a survivor thing going on back then.
My priority now is my family. As long as they appreciate what I make for them in the kitchen, I don’t really mind about other things. Seeing their happy faces as they enjoy the food is reward enough for me.
It’s a different game though when it comes to large gatherings with relatives. You have to make sure that everyone will enjoy the dish that you prepare regardless of age and gender. Makes sense, right?
During last reunion, I was one of those assigned to make a dessert. Since I know what my relatives mostly like, I settled for a classic. I made this cinnamon roll cake that has the creamiest frosting.
And everyone just wanted to have a piece! It was gone in minutes! I had to go back and make another one that we could serve for dinner.
Yes! It was that good. And if my family loved it, I know yours will too!
