Simple Skills - Create a Cake

made by me.........

You are never to old to learn! I know it sounds "cliche" but with the tough situations some people are experiencing due to unemployment, job losses etc, I thought learning a skill or two could be beneficial should I ever (Allah forbid) find myself in a similar position one day.

A few days ago I heard that a childhood friend's husband took his own life due to not being able to provide for his family. May Allah swt protect us and grant us understanding. If you have eyesight, limbs, a brain and fair health, you are rich so make use of the Almighty's blessings he has bestowed upon you.

Everyone gets tested in his or her life, and we should try to pass that test with "flying colors" and remember that after difficulty comes ease. Turn to your maker as he will never forsake you. May Allah swt fill our hearts with takwah and emaan, Inshaa Allah.

Almost a year ago I attended a very enjoyable cake decorating course at Basheera Fakier's Create-a-cake class and although I barely have time to spoil my family with this newly acquired "caking" skill, I do feel confident that I can present an impressive cake or 2 and the impressive choc mousse cake I made at the class that day was used as a centre piece at the Vision Childcare Eat and Treat Fundraiser that evening. Now that's a Feel Good moment right? Alhumdulilah.

Next, I will attempt a sewing course and I cannot wait to share my experience.

Please keep the faith, stay strong, keep trying no matter what and if you feel you cannot do it, Reach out and Ask for help.
