“Ok. Seriously, it is time to update!” I suddenly thought about it when I was taking a break after I did 3 loads of laundry this afternoon. Ever since my husband and I moved up to San Francisco, I was extremely busy with getting a job and settling down. It’s been almost 6 months and everything is going well in San Francisco.

The good news is that I am getting close to start baking again! Last week, we applied an apartment that we want to move and we are waiting for the approval. If everything goes smoothly, we will have a new place at the end of this month.

The other day (now, a few months ago), I was organizing my photos and found old pictures of cakes and cookies that I made from 2004 to 2007. This was the time that I just started getting interests in baking, so the sweets that I’m introducing today are not 100% made from scratch except few cookies, but they were good as they were made from scratch!

My First Cake – June, 2004

Strawberry Shortcake – April, 2005

This is such a quick and easy dessert. My husband introduced me to the great world of strawberry shortcake. Ever since than, I’m in love with the combination of strawberry and whipped cream!
