I can't believe I began this blog one year ago today, not knowing exactly what I was doing or if I would succeed. One year later, I'm happy to say that the journey has been amazing and I'd do it all over again. At first, I thought I'd bake a cake or something to celebrate this blog's birthday, but I remembered I'm a terrible baker and didn't feel like experimenting. Instead of a cake, this post will feature an account of what has happened during this year.

Well, this break took a bit longer than I expected, but I was really trying to figure out what to do with this blog.

Before you jump screaming “of course!”, let me tell you something: I don't like them. Yep, that's right. I don't like marshmallows. I've always loved the way they look, like fluffy little pillows of sugar, but after the first bite, I remember that I don't like them and give them to someone else.

If anyone asked my about my favorite cake, I would answer without hesitation: Black Forest cake. Layers of chocolate cake, whipped cream and cherries constitute the foundation of this great dessert, which was born in Germany almost a century ago. It's usually decorated with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and cherries.

A Michelin star is a quality rating given to restaurants around the globe. While most people have heard the term “Michelin star”, not everyone knows where this name comes from.
