I came to love baking just last 2004. And I pretty much self taught. I gather information through the internet and Zaar,w/c helped me a lot. Especially the kind and very helpful posters in the forum. Because of my passsion, i enrolled for a Bakery ARts and Pastry Diploma. And now that i'm done. I'm searching for a job (anyone wants to hire me? :)
I usually collect recipes from zaar, since they're tested (by viewing the comments of the bakers)
