Coffee 1 tbsp
3 Nozzles
2 Food colour

I put a little quantity of water in my pot and boil for some minutes and the thereafter I added one teaspoon of coffee into a clean bowl and pour in two teaspoon of the hot water.

The second things, I did was taking of a clean bowl. Then, I added the required amount of butter and sugar to the bowl and beat it consistently for a while.

---

I added my egg one by one and mixed it together using the same spatula till I achieved a smooth texture mix.

---

To have a lovely flavor and aroma, I added vanilla to the beaten mixture and continue beating.

---

Next I added was Baking powder to the flour and Stevie them to the mixture in bowl. I mixed thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieved a beautiful smooth batter.

After preparing the batter, I added the coffee which was displayed in warm water. At this point, it has turned cold . I Mix everything very well.

I greased the baking pan with butter to be able to provide friction at the end of baking which will help removing the baked cake easily from the pan.

I then transferred the batter into the greased baking pan and baked after preheating the oven. I baked it for 40 minutes and it was very yummy and palatable.

I took a certain amount of butter in a mixing bowl, then I took some time and blended the batter well. Thereafter, I added a certain amount of icing sugar and then I blended it for a while.

I continue my work by adding a portion of the prepared icing to the center of the cake board and prepare the cake. After adding the icing to the cake board, I gently place the cake on top of it.

I took my piping bag, I apply icing t the piping bag, I cut the top to the size of the nozzle, although, l didn't see the exact nozzles request in this week course but I use the available and fill in the icing instead of missing this course.Determination and perseverance was the key.

I start by drawing a line and keep space across and draw lines again. I followed the pattern all round till I achieve a desired results.

For the top, I start with red colour, I added the two food colour and fill the into their respective bag.

3 . What flavor of cake did you choose? Is there a special reason for choosing that cake?.

I choose coffee flavour cake. Coffee is a flavour love and cherish by all members of my family. We also like having a cup of coffee every morning. Consuming it together create a unique bond and everlasting friendship.

Another reason is that coffee is widely known and use by millions of people around the globe making it a popular choice. It has enticing, irresistible and palatable taste. To ground it all, it was what we learn last week, which is still fresh in my memory and it ingredients is highly available, affordable and accessible.

4 . What do you think about this last cake season?. Have you improved your cake knowledge in these few weeks?. Are you satisfied with it?.

This last cake is highly unique but challenging for beginners. In my lifetime, I can remember making cake just once, which was in last year engagement challenge. But this time I have successfully complete 5 different cake and decorate one. Making my six weeks training complete.

Although enough having fun was hard and seeing the requested ingredients, this week I was unable to see the required nozzles, I have been to different places but I was satisfied and extremely excited in my outcome. The cake was delicious and all of my family members appreciate and cherish my patience in decorating the cakes.

This is my first time of decorating as such I can score my 💯 for being a fast learner. I can't wait to incorporate cake into our menu and enjoy it the more.. I am very good at making cakes, it was a lot of fun to make different cakes in this challenge.
