The Impatient Baker
Baking has always fascinated me The house we used to live in before moving to our own home consisted of an old gas oven in which I initially tried my baking skills with a long vision for future, that is to open a bakery one day “ Frau Rajitha’s Bäckerei ” that specializes in mouthwatering, delicious cakes where people wait impatiently to get a bite. How does that sound?!
But, the things didn’t go as planned. The dough which I placed in the oven with so much of love, care and hope came out of it taking a new shape and form and sometimes it even emerged as a whole new product . it was definitely not a cake and the name is yet to be discovered.
Furious and heartbroken, I laid blame squarely on the outdated gas oven from the world war times for its incapability of getting the job done and for spoiling the dreams of an aspiring baker. While setting up kitchen for my new home, I made sure that my new oven had all the necessary features to produce edible, tasty cakes.
Regardless of my efforts, the end result was still the same. At the end of each try, I just couldn’t hold the sigh of disappointment looking at my distorted yet beloved cakes. Eventually I couldn’t take it anymore and had to give up on my cake business which had the potential to make my family proud and neighbours envy.
End of my cake story!
