When u bake good ,u r special species? Are u kidding me? What about the artist,scientist and most people who successes in their lives.? What spices are they? ...your logic is funny.. admire is a good thing ,but too much admired is shamed.

No, she is a person working in what she loves. She isn't doing some random thing and loving it.

I am only in highschool but I can relate to the feeling of just wanting to bake all day. The excitement I get when I have an occasion to bake is indescribable. I have been on and off with whether I want to be a baker as an adult but this video has truly inspired me. 😁 EDIT: I forgot about this comment but I came back (10 months later) and saw all of your replies and stories. I hope you all can find a way to have baking as an aspect in your life. Reading all your situations and love for baking just makes me so happy!

@reishabaptiste 4 года назад

This makes me want to cry so much! I recently graduated from college and I still can't really find a job as it's scarce but I love to bake so I started doing it for fun. I would just bake what I know how to and send it to church or for friends and they'll appreciate it so much, been doing this for like a year and some. And, it's that double feeling you get, first from the comfort and ease when you're doing it and the expression from people when they've recieved and it finds out it tastes so good! Baking completes me in a way people can't understand. Never done it as a course, never learned from any professional I'm just self taught and im learning every day. Problem is its expensive to get ingredients and since I dont have a job I can't really maintain baking all the time and that kills me. So I started doing it for money and tbh its not paying that much but I know it's a passion now because even when I'm tired and people come with orders, I still do it and it still feels like a breeze. Hopefully maybe one day I can really make it, praying for that. Even if I don't in that field of business I'll never stop baking I promise.

I click on this video because of the title. I was totally ready to explain how being a "professional" means nothing more than you make money for what you do and that just because someone pays you, doesn't mean you're good at it. That being said, this video, the cookies, the dedication in her face, that's what important. I don't care about how many people like what you do, I care about how much you like what you do. This is a proper use of dedication. Good job.

@mithu2cool 4 года назад

From a family of dentists, and graduating as one, I wanted to bake, so I randomly walked into a cinnamon roll bakery and joined as a learner cum helper. Almost a week got over and it's really hard but it's nice. Sometimes workers complain. But i like it. I like the work. Being busy mixing dough, baking rolls, cupcakes... I don't know if this is what I wanna do. But I'm doing this to know that.
