#08 - 'Everyone' can bake!

Just look at Lily. Armed with her kitchen tools, ingredients and a beautiful recipe, she’s ready for her next baking adventure. To be honest, baking isn’t exactly her greatest talent, but that’s not stopping her. Last week’s “brownie experiment” turned out more rubbery than edible, but today is a new day! In front of her lies the recipe for a beautiful pavlova.

With her mixer in hand, she feels like a true baking queen—or at least until a bit of egg white splatters everywhere. And that moment when the sugar bowl almost tumbles into the egg whites… But once Lily—egg white in her hair and all—finally catches the warm aroma wafting from the oven, it’s all worth it. The scent drifting through the house gets everyone’s attention, and her teenage son Jack and daughter Ella watch with wide eyes as she takes the gorgeous pavlova base from the oven.

“Wow, this is really going to work!” Lily laughs. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Charlie, her dog, jumps up from his bed and comes over to the oven, wagging his tail excitedly. Just at that moment, Lily turns around with the cake. She takes a step forward—right into Charlie…

Now, suppose the cake… doesn’t quite turn out as planned! Just keep smiling! Remember, some of the best pastries have been discovered by accident, and your horrible cake can bring a whole lot of laughter to the table, creating the most unforgettable moments.

So, put on that apron, turn up your favorite music, and just go for it. You can bake, too!
