Baking Evening

So on the third meeting of Rangers this year, we all enjoyed an evening of making cupcakes and coloured icing in the leadership of Beth, who organised the whole meeting. Firstly, we all arrived at the hall and were told about the innocent smoothie, knit a hat charity which we all agreed to contribute to by knitting miniature hats in the future meetings. As soon as the first part of the evening  was over, Beth divided us all into three groups, two groups of four and a group of three. Each group was given a recipe for the cake mixtures and one for the icing. So we all got occupied with making the mixtures for these cakes, some handled this task quite well and didn't leave a mess at all, and others ended up getting covered in flour!

When we all finished making the mixture, we took turns in placing them in the oven for 10 minutes. Whilst we were waiting we had a time to catch up with other rangers and have some laughs. Once the mixture was cooked and the cakes were all golden brown our group took them out then it was turn for the other group to place theirs in. Once they were out it was time to create colourful glacier icing, Beth brought in a mixture of food colours including red, pink and yellow. We all chose our favourite colour and proceeded to make the icing to go on top of our cakes. We also had sprinkles and malteasers to cover our cakes in to give them a sweet touch. After this was all completed we couldn't resist eating them! They were really nice, and over all an enjoyable evening. Beth was helpful in guiding us too and made a fun evening for us all. Personally I think we all like baking and cooking and I think we all would like to do some more evenings like this in the future.

below are some pictures of the cupcakes and icing we made.
