Open Letter To The Cake Deprived
Michelle F Wong

To everyone who is impressed by my awesome cake baking skills, making cakes is easier than you think. To everyone who cant bake anything, you can still follow directions. To the people who can't make cakes, you are the cake deprived. I feel so sorry for you. However, fear not. You can make a two tiered cake with relative ease.

1. Go to the supermarket

Such as Walmart

2. Get a cake mix box

My go to is Betty Crocker cake mix

3. Follow the directions on the cake box

On the box, it tells you what you need. Eggs, water, vegetable oil. Mix it and you now have cake batter

4. Put the cake batter into two pans

One of the pans should be larger than the other pan. This allows you to make a two tiered cake. Prior putting the cake batter, butter the sides of the pan so it allows you to take out the cake.

5. Put it in the oven and wait

6. Take them out and wait for them to cool

The pan will be extremely hot. Before you handle the cake you have to wait till the pan itself is close to room temperature.

7. Flip the bigger cake over and use a knife to cut off the top.

This makes the cake level. Leveling the cake allows more stability for stacking the next layer(s)

.

This is a cake I made and you can see that the yellow cake is leveled.

8. Get Icing

Even the dollar store has icing.

9. Put icing between the first and second tier (or layer)

This makes the cake stick. Icing is glue and if you want anything to stick you need a little glue. (It doesn't mean to put actual glue...)

10. Flip over the smaller cake on top.

Congratulations. You made a two tiered cake! (Whaaat. Crazy)

11. Make it Pretty.

You can get tips to make the icing pretty For example,

This is a two tiered cake I made. I used an icing tip to cover the whole entire cake with rosettes. (Rosettes are the swirly things. They look like little roses.) After, I stuck some strawberries on the side and used melting chocolate to make the writing and the cake topper.

If this is too much, you can frost the top and call it a day.

Lastly, you can just stick fruit on it.

You can also take frosting, put it in a Ziploc bag and then cut the corner a little. This allows a simple but elegant style shown below.

At the end of the day, be proud of yourself because you just made a fugding cake.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
