Baking Delights with Baker's Delight

Last week, I was given the opportunity to join Baker's Delight in their buko pie making. Being a former member of the club, I was familiar with the sounds and smells of the kitchen. However, this year's batch of bakers offered a different environment compared to last year's. As I entered the room, I was greeted by a friend. School clubs can make you feel so out of place, but a sigh of relief escaped my lips, and I felt welcomed instantly.

I stationed myself wherever my friend was, and I was able to meet the rest of the group. They were like a family. They called each other the customary achi's and shobe's which was really admirable from my point of view, and you would know that most of them were close friends, but you wouldn't feel left out at all.

All hands on deck!

One team, one family.

Apparently flour isn't just used for baking.

More than a year ago, I attended my first session of Baker's Delight. It was already the second session, actually, but I was absent on the first one. I really missed a lot of important events during that time. When I arrived, everyone had their groups already, so Mrs. Segui, the club administrator, assigned me to one of the groups. I was the odd one out, because they were all in the same barkada while I barely knew them.

Back to last week's events. After working as a team, the group was able to finish the pie. I was not able to eat some, and so I left the room hungry. Well, I forgot that it was recess after the club session, so I regret not staying because I really love buko pie. Do you?
