For my project I wanted to do something in baking because I love to do it and I wanted to do something I like to do. I have liked to bake for a while. I would do baking at home but I would only be able to make things from a box. And I wanted the experience of real baking. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to bake. In my experience baking was always super easy because I would just have to add a few ingredients then mix and bake. But actual baking is more complex than that. I have to get everything right and if one thing goes wrong the whole thing is messed up.
In my past projects for this class I have done some research. I decided because it was a history credit I am trying to get so I researched the history of baking. I looked at different recipes from the old days and tried to see if anything was different. I had trouble finding something that was different in the recipes so I decided to look at the WAY they would bake it. Then I moved on and actually decided to bake something. I chose a recipe that was a little too hard and it failed. I was trying to bake a cake with the wrong recipe and no internet to look it up. I baked another thing, french macaroons. And it was also a huge fail. I had chosen things that were out of my skill zone. I learned from it and decided that I needed to be more realistic about what I was baking. These were for an alternative perspective and I was trying to bake recipes from different cultures. I was supposed to do three but I didn't know we had a time limit so I wasn't able to do it. For the baking I obviously had to have the ingredients which meant I had to buy some. But I wasn't about to go out and buy 50 dollars worth of food for a school project. So I used the school's gift cards to buy my ingredients. Later on in the project Laser Focus I needed more supplies because I was about to bake something else. But the gift cards were empty because others were using it for their project too. So I needed to put in a request for money from the school. Which took a while to figure out. And my plan got ruined. I was supposed to bake the recipe multiple times to perfect it but I only had time for once. But my plan for the cinnamon buns (which is what i was baking) was a lot better than i did in my last project where just went for it.
