So tonight I did something I have never done before... I baked a cake from scratch. Yes, you heard me correctly I baked a cake from scratch. I know it's hard for you to believe but I did it. Now, I didn't do it alone. My friend Sarah helped me, but she was a very good teacher and made me do it all. She was just there in case something went wrong, and to take the pictures. She thought it was great that I was baking and kept taking pictures of me. We almost messed up the cake a couple of times for that reason.
Now this news probably sparked a few questions. Such as why did you decide to bake a cake from scratch? My class is having an Animal Celebration tomorrow that they planned themselves and the food committee decided they wanted to have a bear cake. Well I told them it would be too hard for me to make a bear shaped cake, but that I could make a cake with a bear on it. This turned into I made a cake with a bear head on it. No laughing when you see the picture. I think it was a great effort by your truly.
Another question you might be asking yourself is why bake a cake from scratch, why not just use the box? Well my friend said that the box cakes are just not that good here, they aren't like the ones in the US. So she convinced me to bake a cake. I also make my own icing as well, which reminded me of when I was younger and my grandmother used to make her icing. It was a good memory.
Just so you guys believe that I actually baked a cake, I have pictures as proof.
