Failure?

It was Food Wasting Day. YeeLei decided to bake a 9inch cake for her friends SzeJie and GuoHao since their birthday falls on the next day. Being the noob as she is, she wasnt able to differentiate butter cake mix and sponge cake mix. Hence, she used the sponge cake mix method on the butter cake mix by ignoring the recipe. So wise of her. She beated the cake mix with eggs first, instead of beating the butter until creamy. And to the worst of it all, she used corn oil instead of butter. SO smart.



Her mum got angry cause she didnt prepare everything before baking, which her mum had warned her so many times bout it. Her mum left home and she was lost. The oil wouldnt blend in with the mix no matter how long she folded it (Oil cannot be beated and folding is bloody tiring). She had the strong urge to just throw away everything. But it'll be such a mess! And she used 5 and a half eggs for Buddha's sake!


At last, she poured the whole thing into a tray, which the filter papers were not well folded and stuck. There's still oil floating but she decided to ignore it. She then threw (not literally) the tray into the oven, turned it on, and left the kitchen with frustration. While worrying about whether the oven will explode or not, she tried to sms as many people as possible to distract herself. And that's when her eleder sister came and made banana lassi.


"Maybe I can get one too! After such a long afternoon, maybe I can give myself a little treat," she thought. And there she went, looking for banana, yogurt, ice and water. Too bad, her sister finished the yogurt. "Maybe I'll just blend the banana to make banana juice." And oh hell, there's NO SUCH THING as banana juice. Everything turned out to be so bloody disgusting. The "juice" looked like faeces wtf. Just when she was once again pissed, she saw the can of blueberry she bought to decorate the cake. She put LOADS of 'em into the blender and blended everything. The taste was.. OKAY. But everything still looked like faeces. And it was damn alot. She drank half and threw away the rest. She felt her tummy growling with uncomfort.


The cake was done. She took it out and wtf the center of the cake wasnt cooked. MADASS gross. She refused to take one more glance at it and left it there. It was such a disaster.


She was really pissed and frustrated and depressed since she couldnt find anymore ingredients to make a new cake. And that's when her mom (omg first time using the word 'mom' instead of 'mum') came back, took out a packet of Chiffon Cake Mix and started helping her baking a new cake. A smaller one though, cause a big one needs 10 freaking eggs. So after hours, the cake was done. She tried the failed cake. NOT BAD!! Seriously. It tastes nice, in fact. It's just that it looks madass ugly and the center was abit soft. And the cake became her breakfast and tea for the next day, which she ate alot! She was happy again.


After school ended today, there was a surprise plan for the birthday boys. It somehow failed cause of the delay of Biology experiment and everyone else that she informed went out of school/home. Even one of the birthday boys waited outside. Everything was in a mess. She decided to just give them the cake and card, so she collected the cake from the canteen workers. The worker was being smart enough, much smarter than her, to hold only one side of the plastic bag containing the cake. The WHOLE CAKE was being tilted 70degrees. Twice. And she thought she was already smart enough. Turns out there's someone MUCH smarter than her. Her heart went "thump". Real hard. And as expected, or not, the blueberry paste on top of the cake were slided to one corner of the cake box. The cake looked like a.. I dont know. She was bloody disappointed and pissed. It was her hard work! And her mom's of course. She had no other choice but to give it to them, being as thick-skinned as she is. And she went home with great depression and worry.



"Leng lui yeelei!..super thanks alt for the cake...Damn nice le...ah..how nice if i can have such wife..XD thanks alt!:)" wrote GuoHao to her.

"Hey yeelei! Thanks for everything :) no lor Your cake is awesome le! I finished everything," wrote SzeJie to her.


She couldnt believe her eyes. Was it really THAT good?? She expected them to eat only one bite and complain bout the yuckyness of it and maybe cant finish it and throw it away.



"The best cake ever," GuoHao said.
"Your cake is nice=)" SzeJie said for at least three times.


She was touched and exhilarated.
Maybe it wasnt Food Wasting Day afterall.=D
