Hi all, Beautiful evening to you and welcome to my blog..

It's actually my first official post on #ULOG, special thanks to @surpassinggoogle for this platform and also to @steemgigs and @steemgigger for the guidelines on posting.

So how was your today?
You know it's Friday ( #TGIF. ) and I know most of you had, and some are still having so much fun, Thank God for you...
Mine was so busy and stressful, I barely had time for myself and even my phone, I almost broke down.
You know, my sister (Blessing is her name and she's yet to be approved here) is a baker and just like every other day, got an order from a client to bake a birthday cake.
She had a class today and just so she can meet up with the class, I had to join help her.

She woke up as early as 2am and started the preparation of the cake.
The noise from the kitchen then woke me up at 2:30am and I just had to see what I could do to help out ie after I had checked my notifications and mails.

Baking procedures
Baking is really not my thing because the physical stress involved is way too much for me, even though I love cakes.

We started with mixing of butter and sugar.
Then egg, flour, flavours etc..
After all mixtures, we achieved a thick consistency, which was pored into the baking pan.
Because it's a three layer cake, we made provision for three pans' quantity..
Two of the pans were kept in an already heated oven for the baking proper and the time was set for an hour and 30mins.
The last pan wasn't included initially, because we wanted to make it a chocolate cake...
The procedure was a bit different as we prepared choco and mixed with the consistency, a little brownie was added too with other flavours just to achieve the Chocate nature.
This was also kept in the oven, at the same level if heat...

Big size
small size
And the chocolate, the middle cake.

After the whole process and time, this was achieved.

Icing the cake
This is another stressful and very important procedure in caking. It adds the overall beauty to the cake just as the baking process determines the taste of the cake.

Using specified measurements of icing sugar (of course I don't know much).
Extracted the egg white.
And then added a particular amount of glucose.
We started moulding the fondant. (This particular icing method is called fondant icing).

After a while, when we achieved a perfect feel, then with a rolling stick, we rolled it flat and smooth..
At this stage, the cake is ready for covering..

*Note Before covering wit fondant, the cake has to be covered with butter first.

Tadahhh!!!

Our cake is ready...
And because the birthday Client is #Aibee, we inscribed the cake with her name..

However, this is not a comorehensive preparation procedure as I am not the baker but if you love to get detailed procedure, you can indicate in the comment section..

After all this stress, I had to take out a little time to rest and am feeling refreshed.

So as you can see, Today wasn't really a fun Friday for me as usual, thanks to #Blessing and her client..

And guess what, everyone loves the cake and am sure you'll love it too...
