How it started.

Time really flies. As far as I am concern, my last post was in the beginning of August and guess what it is now beginning of November. I hope everyone is well. :)
Sorry I have been busy with my Uni applications.
Here is a quick blog update. I have been getting some questions from people lately. "Where did you learn all these baking skills ann?" "Have you been attending baking class?" "How did you do that?" "

So this is about how I started Ann's Wonderbar. I completed my A-Levels last year and while I try to figure out which Uni to apply, I bake in my free time. There was this time where I baked my mom a Chanel inspired Handbag cake. I posted the picture on Instagram and with no expectations I added "Orders are Welcome" at the end of my caption.

and this is how it all started. :)

I take it as a part time job while applying for universities.

To be honest, I have never attend any baking classes. Baking has been like a hobby since I was young. My mom loves to bake, so I guess I am influenced by her in some way. As well through all my past experiences I have learnt so much from them. Imagine how many cakes I have thrown into the garbage bin if I baked since I was young but thank God that I no longer have to do that. Haha.
Passion and curiosity play big roles in my life to be honest. To me, without passion you cannot go far. I have done a lot of research and study along my way. I experiment all my old and new recipes and modify them to bring out the optimum flavor. Never imagine that this will lead me to Ann's Wonderbar. This doesn't mean that I bake perfect cakes every time. I still fail sometimes but it has became my very own baking lesson where I can learn from my mistakes. I remember I once rushed for an order until 3am but the satisfaction is so much more when I see the smile of my customer. :)

My busiest days is 3-4 cakes a week so far, busy but productive I guess. Just a humble beginning, so I really gotta thank everyone that gave me the chance and believe in me. I am grateful and I am still learning everyday. I will be furthering my studies on January. I will announce the news in another blog regarding where I will be going. I always hope to bake the best for everyone of you because to see you enjoy what I made gives me joy.

Throw back to the Day Break Carnival. :)

Hope you enjoy reading. Cheers. :)

With Love,
Ann L.
