Today, I got home economics class in school. I was very excited because home economics classes were always very fun. Today, we were supposed to make queen cupcakes. Miss Chan, my home economics teacher taught us how to make the queen cupcakes. My home economics partner, Shang Rong and I did not really pay attention to Miss Chan's explanation and that was what probably caused the problem I encountered today.
When Miss Chan completed her explanation, we started to try and make the cupcakes ourselves. Since both of use did not pay attention to what Miss Chan said, we had to look at how other classmates made the cakes.Firstly, we sifted the flour and the baking powder. Then, we whisked the butter. We continued our steps and just when we were about to put the cupcakes into the oven, we realized that we forgot to add sugar!
We started to panic. However we just put the sugar into our cupcakes because we had no other choice. We we cure that our cupcakes were going to taste horrible, so we cleaned the table until it was very clean, washed all the plates and bowls and put them back at the teacher's table.
After 20 minutes, we took out the cupcakes from the oven and let Miss Chan mark our work but our cupcakes turned out just fine. We even got full marks from Miss Chan because of the cleanliness of our table and equipment. However, I learnt an important lesson today. That was to listen to the teacher when he or she is giving us instructions so we would encounter little or even no problems during our assignments.
