Another hobby.

If there's one thing I like to do at home, it would have to be baking. I absolutely love to bake things. Anything from cakes, cookies, brownies, pies and anything else I cant think of. I've finally started getting good at them, because for awhile they didn't always turn out like planned. This past summer, my mom wanted me to make my dad a cake for his birthday. I got to thinking and I decided to add food coloring to the batter and try to make the cake red. It was a yellow cake and mixed with a whole bottle of red food coloring, the cake turned out pink.. not just pink, but hot pink. I put the chocolate icing on it and put it in the cake holder and took it to my brothers. After we took dad out for his birthday, we went back to my brothers house and cut the cake. Everyone was a little shocked at the color of the cake and I was just sitting back laughing. I told them what had happened and that it was supposed to be red, not pink. My brother thinks I should give it up but that's not happening. I've had a number of experiences while I was attempting to bake, including accidentally setting my best friends house on fire. We were trying to make those sugar donuts that are at the Chinese restaurants, and with a little to much heat and grease, the whole back wall of the stove turned into s huge flame. We eventually put it out ourselves, but my best friend ended up with burn marks all up her arm from the pan we used and the back of the stove didn't turn out so good either. Needless to say, I love baking but it seems like I have more bad experiences than good. Although, I have made a lot of things that turned out like they were supposed to, without any destruction.
