Can I have some more?

Taking a compliment is pretty hard for me at times. I was kinda surprised by the reaction of my co-workers. They seemed to love the cake I made. With comments like "WOW!", "this is the best Italian Cream Cake...", "you're great", etc. I dont know why but usually find it hard to take a compliment. Maybe its because I am a bit harder on myself. I am my worst critic! As you can read from the previous entry I didnt think it was going good. That the cake turned out to be one of the worst that I have ever made. How can it then be one of the best? I guess thats why its hard for me to accept certain things. I know, I know, I am trying and its become a bit easier to accept. I just have to put some of my thoughts out of my mind. Well here is the most funny thing, I have to take a cake for a Christmas party tomorrow night and I am thinking of making the actual thing I swore I would never make again! LOL See, Im not that bad, I am actually rethinking of doing the Italian Cream Cake. LOL, Might it be that I just want more compliments? No I dont think so. Actually, I will tell you another Baker's (Cook) secret. The way to pay the best compliment to a Baker is by asking for seconds/more! That was the best compliment my co-workers paid to me today. At the end of the meeting when we all get up, one person asked "can I have another piece of cake?" I said sure, I brought it for you all! As I am walking out I see 4 people getting another piece! That said to me that they did like the cake!
