Today, I'm going to share with you a skill I learned online. The first thing that came to my mind is baking a cake, specifically a small birthday cake. I clearly remember that at that time, I took quite a lot of time to find a recipe online. I tried searching on some websites; there were quite a lot, and I was a bit confused. However, I then found a really reliable website called thebestbaker.com, and I got my recipe from there. Back then, it was about three years ago. As far as I remember, I tried to bake a small cake for myself. It was quite difficult for me. I found it really challenging because I had a fear of using ovens. That's probably why I had to try more and boost my confidence, even if I struggled with some aspects and had to make more attempts. I finally achieved it after a few weeks. To be honest, I felt it was an extremely great achievement because I not only overcame my fear, but I also gave myself a chance to try new things. It remains unforgettable to me.
