I sometimes see the title “do something without failures” on books such as “baking breads without failures”.

I do understand how painful feeling I have when I fail to bake something.

There are too many failures I’ve ever had.

Such as ...Flat sponge, no feet on Macarons, crack on the bottom of campagne.

When I had a failure in my baking school, chef always said to me,

「That was a great learning experience!」

This word always made me feel relieved and also it was so true.

I learned a lot of things from my failures.

If I reduce icing sugar to make Americans buttercream, the cream will be runny.

If I put the room temp butter into the warm Swiss meringue, it will be also runny.

I could understand those points when I failed.

Everyone can fail.

Even my previous boss, who was a very famous pastry chef in Europe, failed sometimes.

In the restaurant, I also could learn the ways to reuse those failed baking goods.

I know failures make you sad.

However, it’s a great opportunity to learn something important from the failure.

When you fail, just remind this word.

This is a great learning experience!
