Baking Cupcakes For My Family - Activity

It was Thursday night when I just finished my homework and realized that my family, especially my dad loves baked goods. I remembered that I have not baked in over a year as every time I did bake in the past, the results were disastrous, either too sweet or too burnt. However, I decided I was going to try to bake this for my family and try my hardest. By trying to film myself while mixing the batter, I ended up spilling it out of the bowl. I felt tired and as though I was never going to be able to bake correctly on my own. (LO1) I thought to myself that I should try again and make another batter because I was committed to trying to bake these cupcakes knowing they would make my family happy.

(LO2) I know that I am good at mixing the batter, measuring the ingredients needed and preparing to put them into the oven but my weakness is ensuring that I put the timer correctly for the baking part, so that my cupcakes don't burn like they've done before every time I have baked them on my own. This time I continuously checked on my cupcakes every 10 minutes and put a tooth pick through them to see if they were cooked or not, in the end they were cooked perfectly and I felt like I gained  a new skill.
(LO3) Although it was a challenge, I felt really happy and proud of myself when I managed to make a good batch of cupcakes for my family especially when I saw how happy they looked when they tried them, it made the challenge I undertook worth it.
(LO4) My skills in baking has developed by doing this activity and I would like to bake again soon and more often as it is very enjoyable.
