Lesson 50 essay

I LOVE baking! Besides working with and studying horses, it is one of my favorite things to do! I have probably been baking since I was eight, I am twelve now so, I have been baking for four years. One time, probably six months ago, I tried making a chocolate cake but, the middle had a super hard time cooking. No matter how long I cooked it for, the middle stayed gooey. It was so bad, that the top of the cake was burnt and the middle was still batter! So, I scooped the middle batter out, and tried making a “donut!” Of course, the cake wouldn’t come out of the round pan so, it was a “donut” in a pan. Well, I then made some frosting for it but, I put WAY too much food coloring in it so, it made the frosting super thin. I put the thin frosting on the cake but, it started to pour into the center of the cake! Then, I had an idea! I put my big batch of thin frosting into the middle until it filled to the top then, I spread the rest of the frosting on to the top of the cake. After doing this, I made some paper aliens, spaceships and signs then, taped them to skewers. Then, I placed my decorations on to the top of the cake. I also placed a sign near the hole filled with frosting that said, “Beware, the black hole!” I then poured glitter-like-sprinkles on top and called it my “space” cake. IT WAS TERRIBLE! That cake was soo sweet that I couldn’t eat it! It was so gross that we threw the rest of it out! It may have looked fun but, it didn’t pass the taste test! So, after a while, I decided that I was going to try to make another cake. I followed the directions, cooked the cake as long as it needed to and, it was perfect! It was perfectly cooked on the outside and the inside, it wasn’t to sweet and it come out of the pan in a perfect shape! I also had made the frosting perfect without putting food coloring in it this time! It was cute and, this time, pasted the taste test! After my try at cake baking, I have found that practice makes perfect and, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! Oh, and easy on the sugar!
