There is nothing so special as to bake a cake with the people close to our hearts. That’s when you truly experience the sweetness of life together. Teaching our children to bake means that we are teaching them to give.

Nobody wants to eat a cake made all by themselves. No, you want to share it with all your friends! Relationships works just the same. Baking brings families and friends together by using a subtle way to say how much you love and care for them.

So bring along the baking goodies and start exploring the magic of baking in real life…

Flour
This represents the foundation of any relationship. As families and friends, we need to spend time together to make this foundation stronger. We should be there for one another through tough times and good times. We should know one another so well that we know exactly what they want for their birthday!

Sugar and vanilla
This is akin to the laughter and joy that comes from having a best friend or family member. Sharing of inside jokes and talking about the good old days are perfect ingredients to any relationship. The better you get to know someone, the more effective you can share your feelings. Humor gives life that aromatic flavor.

Raising agent
To improve a relationship, you need to learn effective communication. This simply means that, while talking to each other, you should try to find a solution, that works for both. Otherwise, it will only worsen the problem. This means, you should be willing to listen without judging or prejudice. If both parties involve, recognize the value and beliefs of the other, it helps them to understand the other person better. Then it becomes easier to make sense of the different points of views they both share.

Eggs
What keeps it all together? Eggs represent helping each other through the hardships and struggles we encounter in life. If a person sticks around even when times are tough, you know that person really cares about you. There’s a special bond that forms, when we go through valleys together. Be there for those who need you. It can make all the difference.

Water
This represents influences from outside the relationship. Although, it is inevitable that both parties will be exposed to different aspects of the community. It is important to think logically. It’s so easy to be brainwashed by the stream of people around us. Before you do, think first or else, you might end up making mistakes that can damage your relationship irreversibly.

Salt
This is the most important of all the ingredients. Salt is the inner strength that individuals possess. We need to be strong and confident enough to stand up for what we believe. Firstly, work on your own flaws before trying to fix someone else’s. Keep in mind, too much confidence is worse than too little.

Teach your children to bake beautiful cakes, not only in the kitchen but also in life. We need to incorporate all the ingredients into the cake to make it perfect.

Happy baking!
