About SOS Treat Stop

I still remember the warm summer day when my church had a picnic with the neighboring congregation. I was around 12  or 13 years old at the time, and I was excited to spend the day with my friends and family. But little did I know, this picnic would become one of my fondest memories.

When they announced the picnic they advised of a Baking Contest. My heart skipped a beat as I had always loved baking. Without hesitation, I signed up to participate, even though I was the youngest contestant and all the others were experienced mothers from the church.

The rules were simple, we had to bake a cake from scratch. I knew this was my chance to prove my baking skills and make my church proud. I spent the entire evening before the picnic in the kitchen, carefully measuring all the ingredients and following my grandmother's recipe she had given me for Strawberry cinnamon chiffon cake.

As the afternoon approached, the picnic began and the baking contest was the main event. I nervously presented my cake to the judges, who were all the fathers of the church. They looked at me with surprised expressions, probably not expecting a young girl to enter the contest.

As they tasted my cake, their faces lit up with delight. I could see the surprise in their eyes as they praised my baking skills. But to my disappointment, they didn't believe that I had made the cake from scratch. They thought it was store-bought and that I was just trying to impress them.

I was crushed. I had put so much effort and love into that cake, and they didn't believe me. But I didn't let that stop me from enjoying the rest of the picnic. As the winners were announced, I was awarded second place. The first place went to a mother who had made a classic caramel cake.

But to my surprise, my cake was the first one to be completely devoured. The elders couldn't resist the delicious taste of my Strawberry cinnamon chiffon cake. They even asked me for the recipe, not believing that a 12-year-old could bake such a delicious cake.

That day, I learned that age and experience didn't determine talent. And that was the day I knew I wanted to become a baker. I wanted to share my love for baking with others and prove that anyone, regardless of their age or background, could create something amazing.

From that day on, I knew I had a gift and wanted to share it with others. It didn't take long for people to recognize my talent and request custom orders. And now, years later, I have my own successful baking business, all thanks to that one baking contest at the church picnic.

Looking back, I am grateful for that experience. It not only gave me the confidence to pursue my passion but also showed me the power of determination and hard work. And every time I bake a Strawberry cinnamon chiffon cake, I am reminded of that unforgettable day and the beginning of my journey as a baker.
