Something that took place in school.


We had our home economics lessons in school today and it was really fun. We made queen cakes which were delicious and easy to make. Our home economics teacher, Ms Hashima instructed us to prepare and wash many different equipment for the making of the cake. For example, the Electric whisk and the plates to carry flour and eggs. We had a hard time preparing all the equipment as there were lots of things to wash. Finally, Ms Hashima called us over and asked us to watch closely to whatever she did. She explained to us the steps of making the cake and told us to spend too much time making the cake. She talked a lot so it really annoyed me as I wanted to finish making the cake fast and eat it. After her long explanation, we were sent back to our own tables to make the Queen cake. I hastily creamed the butter and added the egg . After that, I sift the flour and added it in the mixture too. I then stirred the whole mixture, hoping that it would be successful. I spread the mixture evenly into a few cupcake holders and put them into the oven. I cleaned up the mess I made while waiting for the cake to rise. Washing all the equipment was tiring as all of them were stained with egg. But all the hard work paid off when I realised that my cake was ready! I excitedly took out the tray from the oven and carefully took the cake out of its holder. The cake was hot but it smelt really delicious as Vanilla essence was added. I quickly took a bite when suddenly Ms Hashima shouted very loudly that I thought I was going to go deaf. She asked me who allowed me to eat the Queen cake and I quickly swallowed the cake in my mouth. However, there was no way I could escape Ms Hashima's scolding. She deducted half a mark from my score and that was it. My full marks was gone. At least now I know I cant eat in her class.
