MY JOURNEY AS A BAKER by @Peculiarem 24/05/2021

Good afternoon Steemians...I must confess that I am so elated to be a part of this great community and I look forward to Learning,Unlearning and Relearning as I dive into all of our daily contents and contests.

Emerald the beautiful baker.

I started baking right from my university days,prior to that time,I had paid to learn from a baker around my street during my 100 level first semester break.
I bake for my birthdays and that of my friends.

My 400 level birthday cake

My 300 level birthday,cake made by me.

I baked this cake for a close friends birthday .

My cakes were really not good enough compared to the ones I see online,I can't deny the fact that I love baking cakes but anytime I do this,I end up feeling all bad and sad as I wasn't giving my best.

Some of my works.

My friends and clients some times ask why my cakes weren't looking so beautiful like the ones they see on social media.

Some cakes I made that wasn't all that good since I was not a professional baker.

Of a truth I couldn't give an answer to their sincere questions.
But as its fondly believed,There is always an Answer some where,You probably haven't searched enough to get it and this was indeed my own experience.
My NYSC journey was the beginning of my answer.

This was me during my service year.

I was posted to Nasarawa state, one of the Northern state for my National Youth service and that was where I met an Outstanding baker who taught me the rudiments of a baking and introduced me to various kinds of recipes.

Coconut cake.

My first practical in lafia, Nasarawa state.

She also connected me to a professional baker in Jos,Plateau state where I gained my Masters in baking experience

My Boss in Jo's.

I must tell you that this changed my Baking story.
I completed my youth service with so much joy and readiness to explore what i have learnt.

When I completed my one year youth Service.
I came back home after my service year and everyone one who once despised me wants to bake and learn from me.
My cakes comes out beautiful and yummy .

some of my works now.

I cannot over emphasize the importance of Self development,I paid a whooping amount of money for all the trainings I had in lafia,Nasarawa and jos,plateau state but the investments has started paying back in big blessings.

I have more willing customers and students now and my greatest joy is that I can satisfy their cravings.
I am not going to stop learning because I see that there are great results in improving oneself.

Thanks for reading my post steemians.
