Well, I don’t usually do hand crafts but when my mom had her birthday last May, I bake cakes, a birthday cake myself, so all the tops of my head. This is the first thing that comes to mind. And actually I used to buy birthday gifts but this time I want to give my mom a surprise and I think no gift is more genuine than a gift you make yourself. So I decided to make a delicious cake for my mom. It turned it turned out pretty good even though it’s the first time I had baked a cake. Before I made the cakes, I look up at a tutorial videos on a cooking website called Cooking with Anne. On my mom’s birthday, I just followed the steps of the cakes, floor, butter, and eggs and after the mixing, I just fouled the dough into a tray and put it into the oven. I remember after around 30 minutes, the oven uttered me that the cake had been baked perfectly. You know the whole process were brief. It wasn’t exactly a road cat sign. More importantly, my mom was over the moon that I made the cake for her. She had never eaten a homemade cake before that day. Even though it took me some time to make the cakes by myself, I would totally would eat because I was very fulfilled making my mom happy on her special day.

Well, I don't usually do hand crafts, but when my mom had her birthday last May, I baked a birthday cake myself, so that's the first thing that comes to mind. Actually, I used to buy birthday gifts, but this time I wanted to give my mom a surprise, and I think no gift is more genuine than one you make yourself. So, I decided to make a delicious cake for my mom. It turned out pretty good, even though it was the first time I had baked a cake. Before I made the cake, I looked up tutorial videos on a cooking website called Cooking with Anne. On my mom's birthday, I just followed the steps: flour, butter, and eggs. After mixing, I poured the dough into a tray and put it into the oven. I remember after around 30 minutes, the oven notified me that the cake had been baked perfectly. You know, the whole process was brief. It wasn't exactly a roadblock. More importantly, my mom was over the moon that I made the cake for her. She had never eaten a homemade cake before that day. Even though it took me some time to make the cake by myself, I would totally do it again because I felt very fulfilled making my mom happy on her special day.
