It's truly ironic. The exact week I assigned the annual chocolate chip cookie contest for my Foods students (a test on Function of Ingredients), Maisie became obsessed with baking a cake without a recipe. She's got a passion for baking.
This is her list of ingredients....
Wednesday after school, with an apron and a hat, she gave it a whirl.
I didn't my darnest to shut-up and let her figure this out...
She reminds me so much of myself. I want to push her to be better. She ended up with a batter.
I was exhausted from a long day a work. Had 6 mouths to feed and get to bed. I certainly didn't want anyone experimenting with cake in the kitchen. But it turned out she would also need frosting.
Good Lord.
But she did it. And decorated it with a rainbow.
I wasn't expecting it to have descent texture; let alone texture.
Lets just say by the time she reaches my Foods class, she may as well be teaching it.
Apparently, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
