this conversation last thursday made me, my baked goods and my pastry chef ambitions/dreams very very happy.
the boy and i had drinks and a burger at The Good Life bar with a couple of his coworkers last thursday evening. one of them mentioned that he browsed thru the boy's FB photos awhile back and saw photos of my food and baked goods. he claimed the photos took him "on a journey of lovely cakes". that line already made my pastry heart melt.
then my dear boy had to say he wants to open a bakery with me and name it "ugly cakes" cos everything is homemade and hence there isnt a factory-consistent look. to the boy, the "ugliness" and inconsistency is endearing cos he likes homemade stuff.
however, the coworker who heard him call my cakes ugly flew to my baked goods defense and said (and this i quote unquote), "NO! her cakes arent ugly! her cakes look so soft and fluffy that they look like if you drop them on the floor they would bounce back to your plate!"
oh good lord. he gave my pastry heart a sugar rush.
and from that, he is now my unofficial guinea pig. he wants a slice of everything i bake from now on. this made the boy a lil relieved cos there's someone to share my baked goods with, this means a lil less calories for him.
so now the boy and i are debating - if i EVER do have a bakery, should we call it "Ugly Cakes" or "Bouncing Cakes"?

hurhur 'bouncing cakes' sound like they're so hard they leap off the ground when you drop em.. never a good thing..
ReplyDeleteand ugly cakes just sound like they're, well, ugly.. but ugly's ok if it's tenderly made and yummery..
so 'tenderly-made ugly cakes' then? i'll start looking at the shophouses at katong/joo chiat?
