It was a really memorable experience for me because I learned it from my older brother. He taught me how to bake and it was a really fun memory and experience before he went out to college. So initially I didn’t know how to bake and he joined a course to make cakes or bake anything pastry and at that time when he was at home he started making pastry and I was Interested because it seemed really fun and satisfying So I sit right next to him and I asked him to teach me about it and he did. He started telling me, explained to me the steps one by one and he guided me through the process in which it was a nice bonding moment between me and him. Things we usually fight and we don’t really talk that much. This is a very valuable skill because I feel that in the future I might need this to impress other people even if I was to open a business I didn’t put this baking skill to use and not start from zero. So all in all, learning baking was one of the best experience, the best skill that I’ve ever learned and I’m really grateful.
