Have your cake and eat it too

Finally things seem to be settling down. There is still a long way to go but I am finally beginning to find my way around Sydney and the suburbia thanks to some great friends. I have started to feel confident in moving around and doing new things. But the thing that was missing was that I was somehow finding my course lacking in creative stimulation. Thankfully today that changed for the better too. The instructor today was a real talented chef who meant business right from the word go. His class was very informative with lots of tips and the thing I loved the most was that when it came to finishing the cake he gave us a lot of leverage to experiment and be creative. By the end each cake in the class looked different. I was pretty happy with mine and therefore I decided to post he picture of the cake on the blog today, the first since the start of the course. I know it's nothing fancy but before judging it please bear in mind that I have never baked before and this is just day 5!! My favourite things about the cake is hazelnut with chocolate (the most amazing combination in my books) and that there isn't much cream that we used except a bit in the glaze and so it also light and healthy. The only thing missing is maybe some cinnamon which I may just sprinkle on the cake later.
I also got my head around Aussie tv channels and found out that some of my favourite shows like Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters and Desperate Housewives have just started with their new season here but the sad part is that while we were stuck on Season 2 or 3 in most cases in India here they are premiering one season ahead and so there is a gap in the story for me. Also with the weird class schedule I am not being able to regularly watch any of the shows except So you think you can dance. My favourite in the top 20 are Sermsah, Rhys, Vanessa and Jemma.
