Bake. Pray. Love.

"trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise"

it has honestly been awhile...
awhile since i baked out of my heart.
it got lost somewhere along the way
doubts and stress creeped in and i forgot
i forgot how much joy it brings, not to myself but others
its kind of hard to explain

on the road of rediscovery
like that book eat. pray. love
for me now in a different country, BRUNEI!
bake. pray. love <3

Behind every cake from my heart there comes a story. With this one included! It is one of the most last minute cakes I made. On Saturday I attended a family friends wedding, i ran into my cousin Ah Sin Koko unexpectedly, started chatting and he asked for cake advise LOL like flavour and kind of designs.. cuz he said a lot of cakes in brunei are pretty similar.. He wanted to get something for his wife =] how sweet, such a good husband hehehe.. to see his love for his wife at a wedding haha how perfect. So i told him to let me know if wanted me to make something. He texted my the night and ya went from there. The next day there were lots of things to do and i just began to pray and ask God how i need to prioritize my day cuz there wouldn't be enough time to do everything!! .. and God just dropped into my heart

Colossians 3:23 " Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for humans."

from there i knew i gunna need time to do the best for the Lord cuz a rushed cake is not working at it with all my heart..was able to prioritize the day and everything went smoothly Praise God and had enough time as there was another wedding to go to at night!

Made a Orange Chocolate Raspberry Cake, inspired by the flavour combo of my fav cake back at Saint Germain. With home made Strawberry Fondant! hehehe
