I was fascinated by baking from a very young age, but nobody used to bake in our house. So last year got myself an OTG (oven, toaster, grill) and tried simple things like bread chilli toast and a plain cake. This is the first time i am baking a cake and icing it too, and it came out reallly well band we had ours with vanilla ice cream.
