food tech lesson #3- cake 'creaming method'

this week we were told to make a cake or cupcakes using the creaming method. the creaming method. The creaming method is where you first cream the sugar and butter together before you add the flour and eggs. i was tempted to go for a simple cake but i we are told to show skill in all our practical lessons so i opted for the great British bake off chess board cake. I'm waiting for my food tech teacher to send me a picture of the cake so will upload that with the recipe when she sends it me this week, but i do have some photos of this cake with a different design outside of it that i created for my dads 51st birthday. recipe and photos will be up later this week. if you would like information about the design on this cake comment below and let me no.
