Baking experiments at home

Our daughter is currently into baking; among other hobbies she's into now. She started with cookies, which I think she's somewhat perfected. These are not from cookie mixes but from scratch, using recipes she found on the internet. She's also made cupcakes and brownies. Last week was her first time to bake a cake. 

The cake in the ref after a successful first time bake for our daughter. She put off the icing for the following day.

Her first attempt at icing was to us okay. You can see there's a concept that she wanted to execute there. And she did this all by herself; without any formal training in baking. She just followed the instructions from a Youtube video.

The cake turned out to be on the moist side. At first, we thought it wasn't finished but after tasting it, were convinced otherwise. This was devil's food cake so it shouldn't really come out like chiffon. It really doesn't look like what you can buy at a store but its the taste that matters. 

More on our daughter's baking in the next posts.
