Cake Pops and Cakes

December 2012

I am now baking for aprox 18 months, and I am working on a whole new web site, therefore this blog, because since now I want to share recipes, and some easy how to's for everybody to do. When  I started writing this new blog, I decided to copy all previous entrees of my own previous blog, because it has been a journey for me.

I always liked colors, and creativity and design, but i didn't know what to do with it, I tried several things, I illustrated, I wrote, I painted, I organized parties, I made pinhatas, I made decorations with balloons ...and I still love all that, but i decided to focus, knowing myself that probably I was going to get tired soon, as it normally happened, but this time, something went different...... it is 18 months later and I am still not tired, I am still very busy with baking and decorating, I dream with it, I use all my extra time, after regular office 40 hour job and 2 children, for learn and research and try new things, i just can not stop, and that makes me happy, finally I can stick to something, finally I gave some colors again to my life, even thought I am a lot busier than ever and I sleep less...

How does a ex-tour guide, Peru lover, passionate for Tourism, kitchen hater, living and working in Holland for the last 10 years, starts baking and even love the kitchen now? No idea, I am still pending that answer for myself, I believe it is the color, the design, and the happy faces you see when someone looks at my cake pops and cakes...

I got better with my cake pops, I am getting better with my cakes, and I just want to learn and learn ..so, if you have the same feeling.. and you enjoy reading this, probably .. you are in the same journey .. make a start!

here some of my cake pops :)

Tres Leches Cake - Drie Melk Taart

Somewhere in November 2012

In South America the so called, Tres Leches (three milk cake, drie melk taart) is very popular, we love it, it is very humid, maybe too humid, very sweet, maybe too sweet, but oh so good!

When I was younger i never even dare to think that one day I could bake it myself, and now, so much impower and with gained confidence from the last 18 months baking, i give it a try... this is the result, I should improve my piping skills, but the taste .. was good! (or so it says my beloved husband, who is getting kilos and is thinking in going into diet... together of course haha)

Cake Pop Fever

05 March 2012
Let the Cake Pops making-fever begin!
Ik ben Anyela, ik ben in Peru geboren en woon bijna 10 jaar hier in Nederland. Ik heb net mijn NT2 Nederlands als tweede taal examen gehaald, maar als jij kan hier zien en lezen, mijn Nederlands is nog steeds niet helemaal goed...blijft moelijk.. therefore I just go on in english before my brain goes "kapot" :)

2 years ago I didn't have a clue about baking, or anything to do with sweets .. until i follow a cake decoration workshop, and get to know a bit more about this "new world" and start to love it.
Months ago I discovered Cake Pops in an American web site, and there we go, I found a new passion (1 more to the "long" list). I couldn't stop thinking, making, reading about Cake Pops , hours and hours every day for months I drive my husband crazy talking about Cake Pops and feeding him and my kids with them.

... so this page is the result of that .. I become a Cake pop fan and in this way I get my cake pop fever under control!
