1)I have no problems in mixing the cake batter and folding-in. We have no trouble in time management and preparing as we were working in pairs and it mad the job easier. If one person is handling the cupcakes, the other will work on the cleaning.
2) The harder part about making the cupcake is the sifting and creaming. Creaming using the electric mixer makes is hard because it is tiring as you'll have to keep your arm in a fixed position for a while. Also, the hard part about sifting is that it's hard to avoid getting some flour on the table.
3) I believe that it is suitable as I think the ingredients used is not really fattening because of the amounts used
However, I believe that we could use unsalted butter instead as unsalted butter is better than salted butter as salted butter is loaded with salt, which might increase your overall sodium intake when eaten in excess

Adrie yadi (34)                              my strengths in doing the cupcake was the batter of the cupcake.the task was to only make a hole in the middle of the mixture and to pour the egg in the hole that was made.There was nothing that was challenging and it was possible for anyone,even the young.whenever i did the task a few times,i felt more confident and that i made no mistakes.the difficulties i have in doing the cupcake was the time management in in preparing and presenting the cupcake.i find it challenging as it was hard to do two things at once especially when we were rushing.Whilst doing the the cupcake,we had to keep the place clean,make sure that we are doing what we are tought by Mdm Norli and it was a difficulty to do the fitting of the cupcake into the cupcake holder which was a killer of time as the cupcake holders are alwasy flying away and the placing the mixture into the holders was hard as the mixture was sticky

1)I was able to mix the mixture quickly and put them into the baking paper I also packed up quickly after the cooking and cleared the used utencils and cutlery used in the process of making the cupcake. I was also able to make the cupcake soft.
2) the difficulties I faced where things like Nor being able to put the

1.)I did well in the foldong in and mixing the cake batter where I had to make a hole in the middle and put a spoon of flour them blend and mix. At first I thought I was doing it wrongly but after looking at how my other friends do it I realised that I did it quite well.I realised that my friends found it both hard and time consuming as we had to repeat the steps untill all the flour I used up.
2.) I faced many problems during the practical but what I found was the biggest problem was making and presenting the cupcake as at the start we thought we had alot of time hence qe did it slower than expected, but when we realised it, it was already too late, hence we rushed at the end and did not really oresent properly. Even after the rush we still did not finish on time and was very late for the mext period.
As the saying goes,"once bitten twice shy". After this incident, I have learnt to managed my time more wisely and always have the sense of urgency.

2i)folding in the flour and mixing it and making the pastry mixture. Separated the mixture by making a hole in the middle then I would a full spoon of flour and pour it in the space made then stir it with the cake mixture until it has a creamy texture and white-yellowish colour and continue this process till all flour is used finish.
2ii) sifting sifting was easy as you needed to gently pat the side of the sift and slowly move it back and forth against your hand without letting the flour to get of the bowl
3i)presentation and baking the cupcake.
As I found it hard trying to not let the plastic paper fly away as it kept flying away even tough I placed something on it trying not to let the paper fly around and it was hard to place the mixture into the plastic paper as when I where to move the spoon away it would drop out of the plastic paper as some mixture is still left on the spoon and would cause the paper to get stucked on the baking tray
3ii) time management
Especially time management as I was the only one trying to bake other than the help of mdm norli I was able to finish in time
Next time I plan that I could do better than what happened and that I could present better by making sure all mixture is used before moving the spoon away to avoid the plastic paper being stucked to the baking tray

# data[].attributes.body
i)Folding in and mixing the cake batter.i mixed it at a constant speed till it was at even texture and have a smooth and pasty texture.
ii)Time management.Dylan and i have split the task evenly,we coordinated well and even took turns to sift,cream and even wash.In order to complete the task on time.
2i)Sifting.The flour would keep "escaping"into the surrounding air.Causing it too be very hard to sift.Furthermore,when you sift the flour,we have to ensure that the flour would fall into the bowl.Making sifting very challenging.
2ii)Presenting.We rushed through the presentation which caused us our plate to be very messed up and unorginzed.There would be remains of the cupcake left on the plate too.
3)I do not think that the cupcake us suitable as it contains sugat which is unhealthy for diebetic people.i think we should remove the sugar from the cupcake and replace it with natural sweeteners such as Fruits.You can also add unsweetened coco powder so as to enhance the flavour of the cupcake

# data[].attributes.body
We did not spill any flour on the table and handled the flour carefully during sifting.I feel that this is something I can feel proud of as I have shaky hands .We did the cleaning fast and effieciently as we delegated the tasks well. As such, I would wash the plates while JY would wipe the tables and wet plates.We took too Long to mix the flour and the egg as our arms would get tired and we would take very Long to mixture cake batter as as these would be a lot of resistance we could have spent more time on preparing the cupcakes as we rushed toward the end.No it isn't as there is still sugar in it.We could make sure that the amount of sugar is appropriate for people with diet related problems such as diabetes.We could replace the sugar with natural sweeteners such as fruits to make it a healthier yet as delicious substitute rather than artificial Flavours.Furtherore it enhances the flour

1) Our strength while carrying out the cupcake practical was when we were sifting the flour. While sifting the flour, we did not spill any flour and the table was clean. Our other strength was that we were able to work well together while mixing the mixture without any lumps in it and no mess. Although we got tired very easily and had to keep switching but we worked well together while switching.

2)Our weakness was our time management. We took a lot of time mixing the batter. Although we worked well together, but the time we took to do the mixing was bad. We had to rush at the end as the time was almost up and many groups could already put their batter into the oven but we were still putting it into the cupcake cups and have not cleaned up the area.

3)I don't think this cupcake is suitable for people with diet related problems.This cupcake has a lot  of sugar in it.We could cut down on the sugar as it would affect diabetic people as they are unable to consume too much sugar. The cupcakes are also fattening as we added lots of butter to the mixture. Butter has saturated fats and it is unhealthy for people with high cholesterol as they are unable to consume too much butter as there is unhealthy fats in it. Therefore, I think that the amount of butter should also be reduced

1.The strength during the cooking lesson was mixing the ingredients to make the batter. I managed to mix the batter well enough untill it was the right consistency by adding little bit more flour.

2.Our problem was the time limit,We had too much excess batter that we had no space and time to use it all,In the end, we decided to donate some to our neighbour next to us as they had a lack of batter.

3.No as the cupcake had alot of sugar which can affect people who have disease like diabetes and obesity. As the cupcake is too delicious, They might get addicted and wont stop eating it hence making their diet related problem even worse.We could replace the sugar with other ingredients that would come up the same taste but a healthier choice

# data[].attributes.body
1) I did not spill any flour while I was sifting the flour.I mix the butter and sugar until the texture is smooth without any lumps.My parter and I were not able to fold the flour without making any mess on the table.It was a bit messy here and there.I mixed the cake baker without messing up with anything.We managed to finish on time as we planned to do everything on time.For example each task we try to finish by five minutes.I divided the task into two so that it would be faster.
2)My problems are I tend to not follow the instructions so I will add wrong ingredients into the bowl but luckily my partner told me that i am wrong .Creaming,I don't have any problems .For folding-in and mixing the cake baker a bit here and there messy thats all.
3)I don't think this cupcake is suitable for people with diet related problems.This cupcake have alot  of sugar in it.We could cut down the sweetness and we could and nuts on the cupcake.We could also make mini cupcakes instead of full size ones.This leads to less fat and sugar.
Thank

1. Strengths

Sifting. This is probably the only thing I can properly execute when baking the pastry. The flour was exceptionally easy to sift, hence I was able to successfully pull it off. Despite the amazingly short time we were given, I still managed to achieve expectations anyway.

2. Problems

Deciding how much of each ingredient which will later on be mixed into a batter - Excessive amounts of butter was used with the other ingredients.

Losing too much eggs - this is solely due to me and my ex-partner's awful teamwork - which then lead to a mess in the kitchen. I mean, if I wasn't assigned to be that person's partner I wouldn't have done anything incorrectly.

Treating the food as if it's garbage - I'm the type of guy who doesn't care on what i'm baking in the kitchen and end up making something unworthy of being eaten. A negative attitude towards cooking could potentially change the outcome of what you'll end up getting when you're done with the baking.

3. Is this suitable for people with diet-related problems?

Yes. The question is just too generic to have an actual valid answer to it, technically there is no right/wrong answer to this only if you give an accurate reasoning. So here's the reason - Since 'diet-related problems' is just to general, I'll just have to say that it would be 100% safe for whoever with diet-related diseases. This is a list of "diet-related diseases" found on google.com.

heart disease;

diabetes;

obesity;

high blood pressure;

stroke;

osteoporosis;

Just take all things in moderation and nothing will not go to plan.

THANK YOU AND GOODBYE

1)My strength was sifting the flour. I could properly sift the flour without any flour spilling out when my partner made a mess while sifting the flour. My strength was time management as me and my partner could finish everything before the time ended.
2)I had difficulties creaming as we did not use the electronic mixer and was slower than the electronic mixer and were short of time. My partner and i had difficulties trying to put the cupcake batter into the cupcake holders as we were beside the window and there was a constant wind blowing through it. Although it was cooling the cupcake holders would keep on moving and we had a difficulty of trying to hold it down while putting in the batter.
3)although the cupcakes were very tasty the sweetness of the cupcake was too much and should be cut down by half or more so that people with dietary problems do not need to worry about the amount of sugar they are consuming.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My strength is creaming the cake batter as it was easy for us to use the electrical cake mixer and I was also able to help my partner in time of need.
We were able to clean up the table and wash the mixing tools, bowls and plates as we worked together to present the cupcake well by assigning one another a task.
2) We were unable to pour the mixture into the cupcake base properly as it kept coming out and some of the mixture even went out of it. It was also difficult for us to add the cream cheese filling into the mixture as it was sticky and could not come out of the spoon. We didn't have much time to clean up our table as we took quite long to pour the mixture into the cupcake base.
3) Although the cupcakes were delicious and tasty, I don't think it is a suitable dessert for people with diet related problems as we added quite a lot of sugar. Diabetic people are also unable to eat desserts with too much sugar. Thus, we should reduce the amount of sugar in order to make the cupcake healthier. The cupcakes are also fattening as we added lots of butter to the mixture. Butter has saturated fats and it is a little unhealthy. However, for people with high cholesterol, they are unable to consume a lot of butter due to the fats. Hence, the amount of butter should be reduced.

1)my strengths were sifting the flour and I was able to do it without spilling the flour put of the bowl. My strengths were creaming and I was able to stir the cream diligently without it spilling onto the table. I was able to do the folding in well. I was able to mix the cake batter dillegently until it became smooth. Our time management was not that good. I was able to clean the plates in a short period of time.
2) I took a long time in creaming, folding in and mixing the cake batter as we had to do it manually without using the electronic mixer. We weren't able to manage our time well as we took a long time mixing the batter.
3)It is a not a suitable desert for people with diet related problems as it contains a lot of sugar. The cupcake could be further improved on flavoring. We could put chocolate topping or chocolate frosting on top of the cupcake instead. For those with diabetes we could reduce the amount of sugar used to make the cupcak

# data[].attributes.body
1) Sifting the flour was easy and it took not much time at all. However, we sometimes hit the sifter too hard and the flour would spill onto the table. Also, the process was quicker as the ingredients were already prepared and we only had to mix them together. My partner and I managed to complete the tasks quickly within the given time frame.
2) The hard part was the creaming and folding. Since we didon't get the electric mixer, we had tour do it manually. It got tiring after a while as the mixture thickened and it required more strength the mix it properly.
3) I don't think think that the cupcake is a suitable dessent for people with diet related problems, as it contains too much sugar and people with diabetes cannot consume it. The amount of sugar can be lessened, and also maybe make the cupcake smaller so that there will be lesser of the sugar and butter in it, which is less unhealthy for people with diet related problems. People with high blood pressure or high cholesterol also can't consume the cupcake, as it contains alot of butter, which has fats. Ithe is not good for these people to consume that much amount of fats, so substituting butter for low fat butter may be a better option.
4) I feel that my partner and I can work on our time managementioned more as we take quite a lot of time on other tasks, leaving lesser time for cleaning up, so we had to rush.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I was able to sift the flour to make sure that all the flour was sifted into the bowl and I completed it in my planned out time frame. I also felt that my partner and I managed to clean up well. After using the materials, we quickly washed up to save time and made sure that it was all cleaned.
2) The creaming part was hard as once the cream got thicker, we had to use more strength to continue creaming it until the right texture. The folding part was messy as the ratio of the flour and the cream was different which made it not consistent.
3) I think the cupcake is not a suitable dessert for people with diet related problems as it may contain too much sugar. There are substitutes for certain ingredients that can ensure that the dessert is better for consumption. For example using yogurt to replace the cream cheese. This option is healthier and less fattening. Reducing the amount of sugar is another way that can make the dessert more suitable for people with diet related problems.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I think that I did very well when sifting, as I was able to get rid of the larger flour powder. I think that we did well in cleaning up, as we were very good at washing drying the dishes, we were able to get rid of the stains well when washing and the dishes were dried after we dried them.

2) WE ran into a lot of problems during the creaming; folding in and mixing the cake batter, as during the mixing of the cake batter the cake batter kept splattering to thew sides making it hard to mix. We also had problems with time management as since we started the lesson late we did not have a lot of time to make the cupcake causing us to rush it and not have time to present it.

3) No, I do not think the cupcake is a suitable dessert for people with diet related problems, as it is not very healthy and there are ways to improve on it. For example, I think that the amount of sugar should be reduced and they should replace the cream cheese filling with low fat cheese to make it healthier. They should also replace the butter with low fat butter to make it even healthier.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My group member and I were able to sift the flour without much problems, therefore we were able to complete it fast, without all the impurities in the flour. During the creaming of the mixture, we were able to get a creamy texture to it, which makes the batter nice. Folding in the flour was easy too, and we were able to stir the mixture without spilling it. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to complete this assignment, therefore ingredients were already prepared. Once we have the batter and the cream cheese ready, we spread out a couple of different sizes of cupcake holders. Then, we carefully poured and place the ingredients.

2) We were spending a lot of time figuring out how to divide the cream cheese to the different cupcakes. Also, we have to use all our batter and not leave any leftovers. We were mixed up when folding in the flour and egg. We were suppose to put some four first, stir it, place some egg, mix it, repeat. But we weren't concentrating on it at a couple of times and had to think hard in whether we should put egg or flour. We were rushing against time, one of us cleaned the dishes while the other cleans the table. Both of us had to watch over the cupcakes alternatively.

3. To me, I think the cupcakes are great for dessert. However, if one had a diet issue (eg: obesity), I wouldn't recommend it. The cupcake is high on sugar and will affect one's health if eaten too much. If the recipe could be change, I'll probably add some greens or fruits to it. Maybe also making the size of the cupcake smaller, so the intake of sugar in each cupcake will decrease too.

1. Sifting the flour took a really short time and was quickly completed. I was glad that during the creaming, the sugar did not fly out of the bowl. Folding was quite simple so it was not really a challenge for our group. Due to time constraints, the ingredients were all prepared and measured out for all of us so all we had to do was to collect the ingredients to our table. My partner and I took turns to wash the dishes and while the other poured the mixture into the cupcake trays.

2.Generally we did not have much of a problem for the sifting of flour but the creaming out butter and sugar made our hand tired. A lot of sugar particles could be seen in the mixture although we mixed it fir quite a while and we were worried that the cupcakes would not turn out right. Folding the mixture was not too difficult for us but half way when we were doing the folding, the bowl nearly toppled over. Clearing up and washing the dishes was quite a rush for our group due to the shorter time given and we had to take turns to prepare the cupcakes while washing the dishes.

3.No, I think cupcakes are not a suitable dessert for people with diet related problems unless the recipe is changed. People with diabetes cannot take too much sugar so replacing sugar and adding fruits to the recipe can be done as a subsitute. As for people with high blood pressure, the butter used for creaming contains quite a lot of fat and makes it not suitable for people with high blood pressure so we can replace it with low fat butter.

2)Fromm this cooking lesson, I learnt how to co-operate with my partner and cook another dish together, which is the cupcake!

3) Me and my partner had problems cracking the egg properly without any shell dropping into the mixture. We also had problems with the time we were given, we were only given 1 hour to make the cupcakes so we had to rush a bit, it made us panic. I think the cupcake is actually quite unhealthy as it contains a lot of sugar, but the cupcakes were definitely the best cupcakes I have ever eaten. So I recommend it, but not to people who has diet issues. If I were to ever create that dish again I think I would change the cream cheese to chocolate and would not add a lot of sugar

# data[].attributes.body
2) From this cooking lesson, i learnt how to co-operate with my partner to make a wonderful and tasty cupcake. I also learnt how to crack an egg properly without leaving the shell in the mixture. Another thing i learnt is how to mix the battar properly. I also helped my partner in times of need.

3)  We had problem such as pouring the mixture into the cupcake base as it kept on flying away and it was abit difficult to put the filling in the middle as the filling kept sticking to the spoon.
We also had a bit of difficulty on how to brake an egg properly. I also knew that we only had few minutes to finish all the batter therefore we had to rush abit to pour the mixture and put the filling in the middle. My partner and i can manage our time much better.The cupake is healthy but i do not recommand it eating it everyday as it contains cheese. Overall, i found that my cooking skills inproved and managed the time much better then the previous sessions. I also really loved the cupcakes as it taste tremendous. I was happy that the cupcake turned out how my partner and i expected.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My strengths were more of supporting my partner during the assignment, I did sift the flour and create the cream. I also helped to pour the batter while my partner mixes it. I also helped to check on the cupcakes before they were left to bake for half an hour.
2) We had some problems such as cracking the egg without leaving shells in the mixture and speaking of eggs, our eggs also looked weird so we both thought for a moment that it was spoiled.
3) The cheesy cupcake is not too unhealthy but I would not recommend it to people with diet issues. The cupcakes itself can be improved to fit the needs of the people with issues by replacing the milk with either soya bean milk or low fat skinned milk. As for the cream cheese, it is not too bad but in case there are people who cannot take it, I would suggest changing the filling to Fruit Fillings, Jam or Dark Chocolate Filling.
