The
boys made a delicious cake
Both Kareem and Shadi love
cooking especially making cakes. I must admit that they make delicious cakes.
It
started with the boys helping their mother in adding and mixing the
ingredients. Then Shadi started to choose a recipe from one of the cooking
books and to make it under his mum’s supervision. Now he can make a cake from
the beginning to the end by himself. He has had lots of practice using the electric
mixer and is a very careful and caring boy. He knows that he must stick to the
slowest speed.
Kareem decides when to make a cake
and what type it is going to be. We use the opportunity to get him to measure
and to write down the ingredients. He now knows very well the basic ingredients
of any cake: flour, butter, eggs and sugar. Then he decides the flavour and whether
to add orange juice, milk, coco or coconut or something else.
This time Kareem and Shadi
decided to make a chocolate cake together without adult interference. We were
watching the use of the mixer, ready to jump in if needed but the two boys
handled it really well and were very careful. Kareem named the ingredient while
Shadi read out the amount and they both measured it. Shadi was controlling the
mixer and Kareem was happy to help by putting his hand on Shadi’s. Then they
both worked to pour the mixture in the tin and mother helped putting it in the
oven.
The result of the cooking was
one of the best cakes I have ever tasted. It was so hard to stop eating it!
Well done boys!
