The World in a Kitchen

Life is a cake, and we the bakers. The kitchen can be seen as our laboratory where we can experiment with new ideas, or alter an old recipe. In the kitchen we have total control over the decisions of what we are going to put into the batter of our cake. If we follow a recipe we can either decide to go along with tradition and follow it step by step, or we can decide to be a little daring and tweak some simple elements here or there. If we really want to take a step on the wild side and break loose we may throw all recipes out the door and create one that is all our own. No matter what we choose to do the basic ingredients that go into making a cake never changes. There is always going to be sugar, flour, eggs, and butter. So with such simple ingredients how is it that so many cakes can turn out wrong?

With any experiment the only way to assure the perfect results is to have multiple trials, otherwise known as trial and error. Baking takes the special touch of knowing just the right proportions of ingredients to amount to the perfect cake. For one to truly master the art of baking takes experimentation. No one wakes up just knowing how to bake, in fact more people usually fail at obtaining the perfect touch of baking than people who master the art. The people who can call themselves true "bakers" obtained this right through dedication and passion. They simply do not give up after a few failed attempts of baking a cake, they push on until they reach perfection. With passion and dedication they succeed at making something as wonderful as a simple cake. While this may not seem like much, how many of us are capable of this simple task?
