Who Inspired you to bake?

I use to love watching my grandmother cook as well as my Mom and my Aunt. I took Home Economics classes in Junior High School and High School, plus technical school classes (such as baking bread, microwave cooking, cake decorating). I got a lot of good tips and recipes from my mother. Once I had graduated from High School my Mom encouraged me to cook on Monday's when I had off of work, and while she went to her ceramic classes. I had a wonderful Home Economics Teacher that made cooking interesting and fun. I think I really got into the most cooking, canning, baking, etc., when I got married. I got many different cooking tips and recipes from friends and family, and made them for my family. I had a neighbor who showed me how to can and that is when I got into canning and preserving. I used a lot of my Mother's and Mother-In-Law's recipes so that I was making what my husband and myself enjoyed to eat. I like to watch cooking shows and take tips and techniques and apply them to recipes I already use. So I guess I would say my Mom inspired me the most, as well as many others.

Cooking and baking has been my interest and they just make me happy. the people who inspire me i baking and cake decorating are those people whom I consider as my teachers too. We don't have physical meeting but through their shows and tutorial videos, I have improved and learned a lot. Among Pinoy bakers and chefs and cake decorators, my favorite are Chef Heny Sison, Jackie Ang Po, and Chef Ronald Donado. I also am so thankful to those people on youtube who share their skills not only on youtube but also through their other websites. Among them are Mayen, who is a Pinay, tonedna (Ms. Edna dela Cruz), aine and serious cakes. Thank you so much!

I can't remember the first thing I made all on my own, because I remember hanging around my Mom in the kitchen and I started doing little odds and ends. I would break and separate eggs then evolved into cakes and since I do some things in the kitchen, I don't think I am a good cook, but my food is tasty and filling. For q while there I did not really feel inspired, and would make simple dishes like lasagne but watching cooks on-line, normal people making some tasty and even exotic meals makes me want to try making different types of food.

My grandmother and my own mother. I baked with both of them.....and now I have baked with my granddaughters. THe youngest stays quite a bit and we usually bake something. The last two times it's been cutout cookies. They are her favorite to make.

My grandmother inspired me. She baked bread and biscuits ever Monday. She made everything from scratch. My mom too. SHe was a great cook. Make up her own recipes and they were always so new and interesting. She introduced me to fudge. She would make it alot after work. So good!
