The three layers of cupcakes!
Thousands and Hundreds on cupcakes...
M&M on cupcakes. Erupting like a volcano, into a myraid of colours!
And the top layer with my blessings. =)
12 packets of chocolate chip cookies, each a 100grams.
Sushi: crabstick, cucumber, egg. And another plate for extras.
The finished products all together. It just brought so much joy to me when I took that picture.
Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows while making it.
Rolling the sushi was harder than I thought, since I was using only half a piece of seaweed to do this kind of roll.
But giving up is not an option, so I wiped the sweat away and conquered the almighty sticky rice and flimsy seaweed!
It's time to do some reflections, something rarely seen in this blog of mine, saturated with pictures of food.
Firstly, throughout this whole experience, I never once questioned myself why I was doing this. I never thought about all the things I could accomplish with the time if I didn't accept this task. The thought that kept surfacing into my head was how Melinda would remember her 2nd birthday. And when I think about the permanent memory this would be captured as in pictures, that I made this memory with my own hands, I realise that this is what makes all the sweat worth.
I will never regret doing this and even though I sold everything at a hundred bucks, the opportunity to do this was priceless. Simply because people trusted that I could do it.
I know this post will mean a lot to me. Just like how much this blog will mean to me. 3 years ago, I started off with the image of my mum screaming at me, telling me that I will never be able to make anything and that I should not waste my time. 3 years on, I proved to myself, with this blog, that what I do is going to be something bigger than what everyone initially thought.
It's possible sometimes, with encouragement from all those dear ones, to make your dream come true. So dream big, and stay happy.
