For future reference (cupcakes):
1. Cream fat and sugar
2. Add beaten eggs
3. Fold in flour
4. Test for consistency

How they tasted:
The cupcakes were spongy and soft, but the tops were firmer and were falling off when we removed the paper. They were also moist and sweet, and I enjoyed them. However, I think I added a bit too much cocoa powder so the chocolate parts were a bit dry. I am still really proud of these because it was my first time baking all by myself!

The cookies were slightly too sweet  but the texture was between soft and hard, which made it really tasty. I would have preferred more chocolate chips though.]]> 2019-01-11 03:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/karine_hay05/3l541e3w0jxw/wish/319543618 karine_hay05 https://padlet.com/karine_hay05/3l541e3w0jxw/wish/319544736 Left: Mrs Lee's (Less)
Right: Ours (More)

Taste:
The one with more sugar was moister. It was also sweeter, so it was tastier.
The one with less sugar was not as soft and pillowy as ours, and it tasted a bit blander, but the chocolate was not as dry as ours.

Texture:
The one with less sugar was more open while the one with more sugar was more compact. However the one with more sugar was spongier.
They were similar in height, but the one with less sugar was a bit taller.

Which one I prefer:
I prefer the one with more sugar. I find that it is softer and moister, and it is not too sweet.]]> 2019-01-11 04:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/karine_hay05/3l541e3w0jxw/wish/319544736 karine_hay05 https://padlet.com/karine_hay05/3l541e3w0jxw/wish/319545274 Some difficulties I faced today was the lack of organisation of materials and also cleaning. As for the making, I feel that it was relatively smooth, and I'd like to experiment with more ingredients to add to my cupcakes, like fruits. I think that my partner and I work well together, but we can improve on our management. Overall, I think I can be more organised in the following lessons, but I think that I have a good grasp of baking so far. I enjoyed the lesson and the photo-taking!]]> 2019-01-11 04:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/karine_hay05/3l541e3w0jxw/wish/319545274
