About Me

- Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
- I'm just a house wive with many hobbies. Cooking, card making, baking (especially pastry), diving and the new one caking. I never thought I will decorate cake or cook before. In Indonesia, the country where I came from...maybe with people whom I knew..friends and families, no one vegetarian. Only me and my son...something odd for them. Sometimes I felt uncomfortable when they looked at me strange..I could read their mind " this lady is freak ". Once, I ordered fried noodle in restaurant. Special request..no meat, no shrimp, only vegetable. They added sausage and meat ball (bakso in Indonesia language). When I complained, the waiter said : But that's sausage and bakso. Geez, I didn't know what I have to do. I'm Budhist. So, after that I just said I'm Budhist and they respect more than vegetarian..hahaha. About cake, hhmmm...never made beautiful cake or delicious cake. I like cooking or baking just for myself and my son...until I met my husband Keith. He opened my eyes. I can cook delicious and I found the last thing I can bake nicely too. Thanks Honey !!! I still need to learn still newbie..
