This is a recipe for cupcakes...
INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 ounces melted unsweetened baking chocolate
Each ingredient is essential for the cupcakes to be edible and delicious. Flour, butter/shortening and sugar are the key ingredients for any cupcakes. There are milk and eggs so that the cupcake has liquid and the ingredients can mix well.
Baking powder and salt are needed in small amount, though they are present in small amounts, they add a dimension of flavour that is necessary for the cupcakes to taste good.
Vanilla and chocolate add extra flavour that make the cupcakes taste very good. By adding different flavourings and fruits, you get cupcakes of varied and exciting flavours.
You can also add decorations to make the cupcakes even more beautiful.
METHOD
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
Combine all ingredients into large mixing bowl. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds, and scrape bowl. Mix at high speed for 3 minutes.
Fill liners 1/2 to 2/3 full of batter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes in pans then remove from pan, and place on wire racks to cool completely.
Frost when chocolate cupcakes are completely cool.
RECIPE FOR A YOUR PERFECT 9TH COY
The teachers, officers and helpers give directions to ensure that every ingredient is added at the right time and with the correct amount so that the cupcakes turn out right. Without them, just having the different ingredients, you might not get the correct end-product.
You, girls, are like the different ingredients in a recipe. If only one of u is available, you cannot fulfil your purpose without the others. Flour on its own, cannot be made into cupcakes. Baking powder, on its own, cannot create the chemical reaction that would cause the cakes to rise. The flavours on that own, would not be as tasty as when it is mixed with the other ingredients to create that ideal cupcake.
Above all, it takes love and careful mixing to ensure that everything turns out well.
I hope u gals would be able to see yourself as an essential part of the recipe to make 9th COY a success and see the value of each person. So that, we turn out to be a success and not a flat cupcake or a horrible tasting one. Worse, if you decide not to bake the cupcake mix, it would just be a terrible-tasting mash and nothing that people would eat. Do follow through the whole process to cupcakes that have been baked and beautifully decorated.
At the farewell party, I spoke to one of you and asked what you'd try to achieve this year. You said that you'd try to befriend the ones neglected and I saw that you're already working at it. It is difficult and I can see that you're trying... I know you might feel helpless at times but I know that if you persevere, we would see the results one day. The same way that the quiet Weilin has grew and shone in a way that surprised many of us.
Keep digging for the treasure in others. Gems are not lying out there in the open for everyone to see. Only the faithful miners will find the most precious gemstones.
You are all gemstones to be found and polished. Believe this for yourself and others!
