a holiday edition

My dear friends,

Hello! It has been a while. My blog has been under construction (and still is heh) for a loong time now. But while I sit here, still lacking da inspirations, time has not stopped. And so before this falls of the face of the earth and becomes just another "phase" that I had, here's some evidence that no, I have not forgotten about this, and yes, I am still baking :) 

Please forgive that I have no recipes to share at this time. I'm slowly learning that it is not enjoyable for me to bake if I'm worried about taking pictures of each step or trying to make my recipe unique from the thousands that are already available online. Cuz you know, reading a recipe, no matter how descriptive, will not guarantee that your results will be as beautiful and tasty as the picture on the front. There's a lot of practice, failure, and secret tricks involved. So as I redesign, please bear with me, and feel free to offer suggestions or ideas or even requests! 

Thank you for your support, even when there's nothing to support. Please enjoy some pictures of some of the baked goods I attempted these past few months :)
