  1. HI this is Geraldine!!
    I LOVE THIS ARTICLE! I love to lean how to cook and I’ve always wanted to learn how to make a custard cake. Do you think this recipe is suitable for beginners? I don't really know how to bake but I do love to cook. I also love the cheesy shrimp article too. You are very creative with your cooking. When class is done will you continue to share tips on your blog? If not can you also teach me?
    Oh and by the way I did not know that this will help your brain cells good to know.
