At the beginning of the summer, I’ve joined a Tae Kwon Do program at the YMCA with some friends. Why? Well, it looked like fun and during the summer, I hate being bored (btw curing summer boredom is also a reason for the existence of this blog). For a while at least five of my friends would do Tae Kwon Do together, but eventually that number dwindled to just two, my friend Sonia and I.
When Sonia went on vacation with her family, I was desperate to find another friend to go with me to Tae Kwon Do. My friend Cecile (acciobojan on Tumblr) was the only person available to go with me, but convincing her to do Tae Kwon Do was no simple matter. She had done Judo as a child, found it horrifying, and was reluctant to do any martial arts with me, even if only for an hour. It turns out, cupcakes are good negotiators, especially when they’re filled with marshmallow cream and topped with ganache. It’s a win-win situation for both of us!
