Hello beautiful women of @steemeomensclub, it's a pleasure to be here again. My son's birthday is here and I feel so blessed celebrating it. Birthdays are special occasions they remind us of how happy we were when our loved ones were born and today is my baby's first birthday and I'm so happy that he is in health and he is also growing. Please read through my blog.

MORNING ACTIVITIES

I couldn't sleep maybe because of the thought of waking up early so as to get done with my normal morning chores and start baking my baby's first birthday cake. I had gone to the market the previous day to buy things for baking and when I got there, I found out that the prices of everything have skyrocketed and doubled. Thanks to God that I carried extra money and I had to forsake buying other things since I can get them close to my house and bought just the cake ingredients. I bought 4 satchets of simas butter, I have 1 satchet already, granulated sugar, icing sugar, and cake wrapper. Since I have other ingredients, I left the cake shop after paying.

After I was done with my regular chores of making food for the family, washing the dishes and cleaning the house, I fed my baby, bathed him and he fell asleep. I used the opportunity to start baking since I'll be baking manually and it is a very strenous process.

My Baking Journey

The Recipe

Simas butter. 3 satchets
Sugar. 3 cups
Egg. 10 medium size
Flour. 6 cups
Baking powder. 1 tablespoon

Procedures

Mix the sugar and butter together. Turn either clockwise or anti-clockwise until you cannot feel the coarseness of the sugar again.
Beat your eggs in another bowel until it rises
Mix your eggs, butter and sugar, already sieved flour, baking powder together.
Use your hands to turn all the mixture together so that they can be uniformly mixed.
After all these, rub butter inside your pan. This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan when it is done. Put your mixture inside the pan, allowed for at least 30minutes so that it can rise then you put on fire.

Since I do not have an oven to bake, I use my pot and stove and I achieve my desired result by putting sand into the pot, covering the sand with enough paper before placing my covered pan into it.

Icing my Cake

Procedure

I used 2 icing sugar and 2 butter for my icing.

Put your butter inside a bowel and add your icing sugar in bits as your turn them together.
When you are done, rub them on your cake starting from bottom to top and smoothen them afterwards. Make any design of your choice.

It has been a very hectic week for me because of the preparations for my son's first birthday.

Powering Up Steem

I also powered up 15steem by buying from my SBD and this is my evidence. I am a bonafide fan of #club5050.
