Confessions of a Newbie Baker

I learned how to cook when I was in highschool and since then I had been wanting to learn how to bake. Being a dessert aficionado, my urge to bake my favorite cakes and cookies made me finally purchase a countertop oven to practice baking.

For my test run, I baked brownies and made caramel sauce to come with it. That first try was a hit, it barely cooled down because my family couldn't wait.

The next week, I craved for carrot cake, so I looked for a recipe, bought ingredients, then gave it a shot. I expected a light cake but instead it was a bit dense. Though I wasn't that disappointed because even my 5 year old nephew liked it.
