Baking is hard. Yeah, if you bake from scratch. If you do, then you have to buy all the ingredients. Then you have to read instructions. How horrible. Then with the instructions you actually have to follow them and watch as the sugar disappears into the flour. Or as the egg yolks break up and combine with other ingredients. If you think baking from scratch is hard, try baking from a box. Easy right? Not to us.
My friend had the most ‘genius’ idea ever. Let’s bake! I’m actually okay at baking. I watched my sister enough and pouring in cups of specific ingredients wasn’t that hard. However it wasn’t what I anticipated. When I arrived, on her counter was a box. A box with pre-made batter. No. Just stop. That’s not actual baking. Actual baking is where you get flour all over yourself because you’re trying to even it out. Real baking is when you actually have to measure how much sugar you put in. Not this crap where you just add water. This isn’t a TV show about mermaids.
I sucked it up though. What could I do? First we got the ingredients out. Pre-made batter, water, 2 eggs and vegetable oil. An awful set of words escaped from my friend’s lips, “I don’t think we have vegetable oil…” Screw up #1. “It’s okay, we can just use olive oil,” she said afterwards. I bit on my

18 minutes left. “Wanna watch Spongebob?” “Nah.” 15 minutes left. “How about the Conjuring?” “Nah.” 5 more agonizing minutes passed. “We’re gonna watch the Conjuring.” I shrugged, “I don’t care.” 5 minutes left. This is boring. “It gets better,” she responded. Oops! Did I say that out loud? 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… “They’re done!” I opened the oven and pulled it out. Then I taught my friend how to check for rawness. “Stick a toothpick down the center and if nothing is on it, it’s ready.” It was ready. Thank god. It smelled so good. The aroma that filled the kitchen was the sweet smell of chocolate and the yeasty, heavenly smell bread also
Finally, it is time for the baker to bake the peach cobbler. The baker will put their oven safe dish in the preheated oven and close the oven. Then they will set the timer for 40 minutes and wait for the timer to go off. Lastly, the baker will put on their oven mitts and pull out the oven safe dish to check the peach cobbler by sticking a toothpick in the middle to make sure it is done. Now if everything looks good the baker should be done, but if the baker checks it and it doesn’t seem finished leave in a little longer until it reaches the desired look

Everyone has been a critic or has been criticized at least once in their life time. There are both pros and cons to being a critic or getting criticized but at the end, both party gets something in return. Either by learning something new, or learning from your mistakes.

Opening the refrigerator door, I locate two ingredients: eggs and butter. Grabbing the ingredients, I place them on the island sitting vertically in the middle of my rectangular kitchen. I then walk around the island to a cabinet to find baking powder and vanilla extract. Scanning and searching through all the spices and other items, I see the desired components. Finally, I walk across the kitchen to a cabinet standing high on my tippy toes because the protruding countertop makes the cabinet hard to reach. In this cabinet, I find the flour and sugar. I examine all of the goods on the island. The ingredients needed for a sugar cookie recipe, I have made countless times for the last five years.

Although I have grown up to be entirely inept at the art of cooking, as to make even the most wretched chef ridicule my sad baking attempts, my childhood would have indicated otherwise; I was always on the countertop next to my mother’s cooking bowl, adding and mixing ingredients that would doubtlessly create a delicious food. When I was younger, cooking came intrinsically with the holiday season, which made that time of year the prime occasion for me to unite with ounces and ounces of satin dark chocolate, various other messy and gooey ingredients, numerous cooking utensils, and the assistance of my mother to cook what would soon be an edible masterpiece. The most memorable of the holiday works of art were our Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, which my mother and I first made when I was about six and are now made annually.
They didn’t have yeast to make the cakes more level and they didn’t figure that out until they started to put them in their
Use a small dinner spoon to make the perfect sized cookies. Scoop up enough dough on the spoon to cover it, but not too much so that it's more than a few centimeters high off the spoon. Afterwards, place the lumps of dough about two inches away from each other on a cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet or sheets onto the middle rack in the oven. Finally, bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Once the cookies have reached the desired state, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 2 minutes. Lastly, move the cookies to wire racks for additional cooling. Now that the cookies are done, you can enjoy soft chocolate chip cookies that aren't burnt on the bottom, but are velvety and gooey in the

It was my mother’s birthday, I forgot which birthday it was. Two weeks before that day, I was thinking about what should I do for her birthday. I thought about getting her a present and a card, but it seemed to me too dull. I wonder what can I do to let her remember that birthday for the rest of her life, although I cannot remember which birthday it was. I thought of one thing that I always wanted to change about birthday — the cake. I was young and I believed that the cake was really important for birthdays. Previously, the cakes were standard, they taste and look average, they were either chocolate or vanilla flavored with standard bakery decorations on the them, on top, they were always slapped on a white chocolate “Happy Birthday” sign. There I go, I can bake a cake for her from scratch, a unique one which she will never forget about.
