A long post. ☺️
My Baking Journey :
Tapak Kuda (Horseshoe) Rollcake.
2015 : Having learnt to successfully bake and FOLD Tapak Kuda is truly an achievement I never thought i’d achieve. I'd failed so many times before, no matter how many different recipes I followed from youtube.
Cikgu taught me that it is not fully about its folding tecnique but the way you pretreat your ingredients and how you mix the batter. Who would’ve thought that after only 1 class from Cikgu, I had enough confidence to give away samples to close friends & relatives to review.
A few months later, most of them came back asking me to open orders for Hari Raya. Apprehensive at first, ibu Ana Mardhiah supported & convinced me to give it a go.
Orders came flooding in that we had to close orders earlier than expected. And with the money made, I could afford my dream mixer - an 8 litre RHINO Mixer Machine and pay for myself the cakes & breads modules.
Alas, this Tapak Kuda has done its justice. It had taught me where there is a will to learn, there will be a way. And with it, had made me materialised my first dream purchase as a baker.
Thank you to everyone who had put in so much faith in me although i was only what, 11, 12 years old then... I will forever remember this special story of my Tapak Kuda journey for as long as i shall live.
So, for this raya, i am happy to be taking orders again. Despite starting my diploma course real soon, i will try my best not to disappoint. Feel free to whatsapp or inbox me for orders before my quota runs out ok!
