Baking Cakes

One of my long standing ambitions has been to learn how to bake cakes. This year I have finally been given some baking utensils for my birthday so my first attempt was rock cakes.



I was following some hopefully idiot proof instructions given to me by my mum, although when all the ingredients were in the bowl I wasn't sure if I was doing it right.

But once I had the mixture in the baking tray it was the point of no return and it was time to put them into the oven for 20 minutes.

So 12 rock cakes came out of the oven 20 minutes later looking edible... in fact were edible, and well they didn't poison me. Not too bad for a first effort I reckon. Hopefully I will begin to develop my baking skills and I wonder what I will try next!
