This blog is dedicated to all my lovely friends who love to ask if I can share my recipes whenever they tasted something good. I love baking because it is the easiest way to cook and I prefer making everything myself mainly for the freshness and the freedom to control what is in my food and the amount of sugar, salt and fat. The recipes that I share in this blog are my favorites and I hope you will try them and like them too. Enjoy the sweetness of your labor!
