Cupcakes

Yesterday was practical day for one of the secondary 3 class. They were told to bake raisin cupcakes. Initially Amanda and I thought of not making it and just walk around to see students do their practical. My supervising teacher asked us to make some since we are on SIP and we need to write something on what we did. At first, we thought there were not enough ingredients since another homec teacher said so. But actual fact there were enough for us to bake. Haha.

So I made for 2 persons' share which means there were 12 cupcakes =). Amanda did 6 cupcakes. It has been quite a while since I cook in school. The last practical I did was back in 2005 for my O levels. This time round, I did the practical as a teacher but not a student. Hehe. The cupcakes tasted nice but not so soft as I wanted them to be. Well that's the thing when you use a conventional oven, it is hard to control the time and temperature. Conventional oven tends to generate more heat than normal oven. But then again, I did not set the time and temperature. It was the teacher. Haha. So it was not my fault. I just put in the tray and let it baked because we started to do later than the students. Since we were rushing for time, we did not even check the time and temperature.

I'm looking forward to other practicals =) I shall cook in school while I can since we are given free food. Haha. Here are pictures of the cupcakes. Note that the cupcakes have 2 different shades of colour because I put them in 2 separate ovens.





Somehow I like the darker cupcakes better =)
