My Baking Story…

Hi all… Welcome to my kitchen.

This page is all about me.

Hi sweeties, I’m Kate, the sweet lady behind the A Slice of Kate, a content creator and a food blogger. Aspiring to be a cookbook author with God’s grace and in His perfect time.

It all started when I migrated to New Zealand in 2007 with my husband and eldest daughter. I felt so homesick and I was losing my mind. There was definitely something wrong with me, and I know it was not good. Depression hit me really hard. Everything was so dark. I was so hopeless at that time and I have been crying a lot. I was so deeply sad and furiously mad at the same time. It affected my functionality in my daily life.

Then I started baking. That was when I felt happy, accomplished and proud. I taught myself how to bake since then. I have watched millions of baking videos on YouTube, and I practised as much as I can. I absolutely love it. Baking became a therapy for me.

I have made customised and sold many artistic cakes, different types of pastries, bread and sweet treats in the past, and it gave me a sense of purpose. The smiles on my client’s faces and their encouraging comments made me believe in my capabilities as a home baker. This time, it wasn’t all about me… It’s about my beloved and loyal customers who eventually became friends of mine.

Now, my goal is to give you fool-proof and easy to follow recipes and plenty of pictures that will give you confidence and knowledge in cooking and baking! Continue to pursue your passion and be happy!

Baking is a therapy. Baking makes me sane.
