     Today, in school for Home Economics lesson, the class had to make Queen cupcakes. The ingredients were eggs, butter, sugar, raisins, vanilla essence and flour. The lesson was enjoyable as we had to mix everything together with a mixer, which we had not used before.

     We began with mixing the butter and sugar together. Then, we slowly added the egg, mixed together with the vanilla essence, tablespoon by tablespoon and we mixed it with the mixture of butter and sugar. After doing so, we added the flour, tablespoon by tablespoon as well. This time, we did not use the mixer. Instead, we used the spoon to mix all the ingredients together. Finally, we added the raisins.

     After showing our teacher our work so far, we put the mixture into different cups. This was the difficult part as my partner and I loved raisins, so we had to try our very best to split the raisins evenly between the two of us. After spending so much time ensuring that the raisins were evenly split, we placed the cup full of the mixture onto a tray and into the oven. We then waited for about twenty minutes for the cupcakes to finish baking. After twenty minutes, we packed the cupcakes into our containers and began to wash up.

      The cupcakes were really delicious and i enjoyed today's Home Economics lesson, other than the fact that almost the whole class had to stay back for twenty minutes as our teacher was very particular about the cleanliness of our equipment. Even if there was a droplet of water on the spoon, she would have reprimanded us about it and would have asked us to clean it again. Other than that, i think it was an enjoyable Home Economics lesson.
