<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi,</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Welcome to my blog! I'm Zoe.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZixkthkzyrre13vKcsFevudV_BJHJkXNBy-Pc-rC4yjxNqYwragB7vTZdHQNIQROkAPpQidqV6A6p5yX1Z_G2GLq0DC_fzX61VIAYMp_ZSFzu6EKpv9c46b_DiJrg_eqzCMF_Fgc1_4/s1600/zoewithclip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZixkthkzyrre13vKcsFevudV_BJHJkXNBy-Pc-rC4yjxNqYwragB7vTZdHQNIQROkAPpQidqV6A6p5yX1Z_G2GLq0DC_fzX61VIAYMp_ZSFzu6EKpv9c46b_DiJrg_eqzCMF_Fgc1_4/s1600/zoewithclip.jpg" width="235" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of my Aussie friends can't pronounce my Chinese name. Some call me Sue. Some call me Zoe. Hence, for my blog, I like to call myself Zoe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love to bake... for my family and friends. We all can be happy kids and it is essential to eat well and be happy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> been blogging since August 2010 and hope to learn lots of cooking and baking skills from blogging. Please feel free to comment and I am happy to share my thoughts and any interesting recipes that I have come across…</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was born and raised in Singapore and have been living in Melbourne, Australia in the past decade, so naturally, my food culture has been a mix of both countries. At this point, I begin to recall back my past and would see how my interest in cooking and baking develop…</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since young, I never have to cook and wouldn't cook. Then again, being educated in Catholic schools, I’m always interested in baking but always a failure in my home-economic classes. My chocolate cakes are always flat, burnt and rubbery. I laughed when I remembered that my cookies bounced when they accidentally fell from tabletop. Even today, my best school friend and I still laughed at these bloopers whenever we talked about our school life.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Welcome to my kitchen...</span> </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was my life changing moment from the day that I came to live in Melbourne. I started cooking initially to minimize the cost of living, and it progresses slowly to an interest. I also realize that we are responsible for the food that we put into our mouth and can see the advantage of DIY foods.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, as a mum, giving my family the best nutrition is always my priority. At the same time, I wish to explore my cooking with a little of fun and art. I always remember my very first fun baking project which was my child's one year old birthday cake. They were the Elmo and Cookie monster cupcakes and I was proud of my achievement as an amateur baker. What motivate me further was the scene of my child and his teething friends as they were chomping the cake. I can feel the happiness in these kids and it has been a very special moment for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am very happy that I've learned and improved a lot for my baking from my past years of food blogging. Before blogging, I wasn't confident enough to bake a loaf of bread. Today, I'm exploring as many various recipes as I can.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was lucky too to meet many great friends through blogging like Joyce from </span><a href="http://mycookinggallery.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kitchen Flavours</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and Lena from </span><a href="http://herfrozenwings.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Frozen wings</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. Joyce, Lena and I started baking a lot together with our bake-along since May 2011. All my bake-along experiences with them have been really fruitful and priceless for me and I have learned heaps of knowledge from Joyce and Lena and also other food bloggers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So what’s next? I hope to explore more cooking and baking skills with this blog and hope to learn and improve as I blog further. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Happy Baking.</span><br />
