I love cake and cupcakes! The other night Katie and I made a delectable birthday cake for her sister's 24Th birthday. We made a 3 tier birthday cake from scratch.The things we used were:
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
4 eggs FROSTING INGREDIENTS
1 package powdered sugar (16 ounces)
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
3 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
Once we obtained the above ingredients we began to bake.
First we creamed 1 cup butter with 2 cups sugar by hand. Next we added 4 eggs, 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Then we slowly added flour and mixed until the texture became smooth.
(Almost done!)We lined the cake baking pan with non-stick butter and spooned in mixture. After preparing the cake batter and putting it into the pan, we had to let it bake at 365 for 20 minutes.
When the 20 minutes was up we let the cake cool, and repeated all these steps two more times for make 3 tiers( 3 different sizes).
After all 3 tiers were done Katie and I frosted the cake and decorated with birthday love.
It was a lot of work and time but the end result was worth it. We made a beautiful birthday cake for Katie's sister Ashley, and she loved it.
Here's a question that nobody has EVER thought about before. What does elaborate cake creation have to do with phyisical therapy?
ReplyDeleteHere's another connection. In your field of interest, you're going to have to do with many morbidly obese people who all their lives indulged in rich desserts. What kind of destructive strain does pounds and pounds of fat place on muscles, joints, and tendons?
