I’m going to talk about the time I needed to find a receipt for backing. I don’t have a nice for baking and it’s the first time I have ever tried to find out how to bake something. So I still remember it’s like it’s was yesterday. It was several months ago just before my mom’s birthday in order to give her a special birthday celebration. I decided to bake a cake. A friend told me baking a cake is actually easier than cooking a meal. She said she taught herself through a tutorial videos on cooking website called YOOKOO. So before I made the cakes, I looked up a video on the website that my friend recommended. I found many related videos about baking cakes, some goulang and some good super salt. In the end, I picked one that was detailed. Blowing the receipt from the videos, I prepared lots of ingredient lies, baking pans, cake floor and butter. And I keep the videos playing on my tablet while I was making the cakes. It’s why not getting a hand from anyone. I managed to bake a cake. I managed to bake a nice looking cake all myself. My mom’s were over the moon that I made the cakes for her. So I have to say thanks to the internet, I made my mom happy on her special day. And I also learned baking is pretty useful skill without paying any penny.

I'm going to talk about the time I needed to find a recipe for baking. I don't have a knack for baking, and it's the first time I ever tried to find out how to bake something. I still remember it like it was yesterday. It was several months ago, just before my mom's birthday. In order to give her a special birthday celebration, I decided to bake a cake. A friend told me baking a cake is actually easier than cooking a meal. She said she taught herself through tutorial videos on a cooking website called YOOKOO. So before I made the cake, I looked up a video on the website that my friend recommended. I found many related videos about baking cakes, some good and some not so good. In the end, I picked one that was detailed. Following the recipe from the video, I prepared lots of ingredients, baking pans, cake flour, and butter. I kept the video playing on my tablet while I was making the cake. Without getting a hand from anyone, I managed to bake a nice-looking cake all by myself. My mom was over the moon that I made the cake for her. So I have to say thanks to the internet; I made my mom happy on her special day. I also learned baking is a pretty useful skill without paying a penny.
