Angus wanted something 'nice' to eat. After searching through the pantry he didn't find anything that interested him. So I told him he had to bake something.He searched the pantry again and found a cake mix. ..
After mixing the batter and 30 minutes of baking he took the cake out of the oven.It's a butter cake by the way.
Here's the final product with some cinnamon flavoured icing.Angus did a really good job considering that it was only a couple of weeks ago that he was too scared to put anything into the oven let alone take it out!
It's amazing how being 'hungry' for something nice will change a teenager and get them to do something they wouldn't normally do.
Well done, Angus. Cooking is a skill you will always be glad to have. I am just currently eating pancakes cooked by my dear son and they are delicious.
ReplyDeleteAngus said to say thank you to you Kat. How wonderful that your son made pancakes for you. I think food tastes better when someone else prepares it for you.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with Angus on two different fronts here. 1, that he was willy to push past a fear...facing that stove head on. Good job Angus!!...And 2, attempting to go outside of his knowledge to learn how to do something new! Baking isn't as easy as it looks! {Sure wish I could have tasted the fruits of his labor! ^_^...or rather, the cinnamon flavored icing!}
ReplyDeletePoetess, you should have seen how happy he was. I believe he now has a cooking buzz. He went to the supermarket with me this afternoon and got so excited when I went down the aisle with all the cake mixes. I am sure that once he makes a cake from scratch he wont want to use a packet mix again.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of him :) Before I forget the cinnamon icing was delicious and so was the cake.
