March 26, a day of chaos in Xun Zhen's house. It's baking day :D Anyway….baking time was a....(wait for it)...a disaster.. I think. Haha XD you know never to trust yourself to replicate the cake image in baking books. First off, we didn't actually have a hand mixer till Seow Kean which is an hour or two later. Before that, the mixer was none other than Toto and Xun's hands. Their fast speed mode was equivalent to the mixer's slow speed mode. Somehow during the process of making a sponge cake, there were two different instructions followed together with Ping's alteration of the recipe. I'm guessing this is when it all started going downhill.
I was busy in the kitchen with Boon preparing the glazed bananas to be soon made into mousse. Later, we went to set the mousse into the fridge. Soon after Toto picked up Sk from her house after her waking up at around 11 something nearing to 12.
The bater was mixed well and popped into the mini oven. Next, we tried making whipped cream,...which kinda turned out into a failure. Until we tried doing it by placing the bowl into another bowl of ice which succeeded better then the previous batch.
I have no idea how the cake for d peanut butter flavour turned into a kuih like texture...could be it's too runny due to mixing it for long, or the layer we bake it is too thin.
(Drumroll…) and for the cakes to make an appearance together with the supposedly expectations.
Reality vs expectations.

Haha XD u can see how chaotic it is. To conclude, baking is not a skill we have in this field. T.T
Anyway, this ends our first and I think last baking adventure.
