The other week at the (Thai) restaurant where I work now, my one (middle-aged) (Thai) coworker who's a whiz at the phones was like, "Here, try some," and gave me a small teacup plate with a small piece of layered strawberry cream-cake on it, like this lovingly and carefully frosted cake, where there were small dense layers of pastry with cream in between them, and a carefully cut-up slice of strawberry directly on top.
"This is good," I was like, and I started to ask her how old she was when she started baking.
By herself, as a teenager, and with help, she can't even remember, she was so young.
She said her mom was always baking in her family, when she was growing up, and she would always help her.
