My aims for this activity were to improve upon the cake which I had made last year, but keeping the same kind of idea flowing. I wanted to still do a rainbow cake, however i tried a different recipe so that it would be a different kind; rather than very neat and stacked colours, these would be mixed together, like those in a tie die. Then, in order to make the cake more aesthetically pleasing, I wanted to disguise the colours so that they surprised the judges when they opened it up. My main aim was to gain points for my house and have fun in making a cake and competing with my peers.
This was a challenge for me as I was trying to improve my last recipe and, of course, I had a lot of pressure of making a cake even better than the one I had made in the previous year which had seemed very difficult before I made it.
This was Creative because I redesigned and remodeled last years recipe in order to create a new and improved cake. It was also Service, again because the cakes which were entered into the competition were sold in order to raise money for charity.
I found this activity very amusing and i was really pleased with the result and met all my aims and goals. I managed to make a very pretty silver melted frosting coating topped off in delicious and sugary pink strawberry candy with a wonderfully colourful inside which made mouth water at its sight (and not only because of my famous baking skills).
