    I crack open the two eggs and pour them in the bowl, throwing away the shells. I measure 1/4 cup of water and pour it in the mixture as well as 2/3's of a cup of oil. The hardest part is blending it in really well; I take two minutes really mixing in the ingredients, making sure everything is well mixed in and is on the right condition, not too creamy, but not too hard. Once I am done with that, I grab a couple of Oreos and start breaking them into pieces and putting them in the plastic bag. I start hitting the Oreos, cracking them into smaller pieces and then pouring that into the brownie mixture.…

    I am going to school as a Baking and Pastry major. Before I started school something I always loved to make was ice cream cake. Most people think this is a hard task, even though it is time consuming it is not hard to accomplish. It’s based on 3 steps. Make the cake, prepare the ice cream, and assemble the cake. You can basically choose any type of cake and ice cream you want. I have made many kinds such as chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream, vanilla cake with cookies and cream ice cream, and strawberry cake with butter pecan ice cream. I’m going to explain the process of making a simple yellow neopolitan ice cream cake. You also need to choose what size of cake you want to make. I’m going to make a 9 inch cake. You will need 3 cake pans of the size you choose. The first step is baking the cake. You can choose to either buy a package of cake mix, or to make your own cake. First you need to preheat the oven. Most cakes call for 350 degrees. Now get two of your pans out and butter, or spray them. To ensure the cakes won’t stick you can always sprinkle some flour on the top of the butter. Now your pans are ready. In order to prepare a cake batter you will need some ingredients. You will need to combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups of flour, ½ a teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. After you’ve finished with the dry ingredients blend together 1 cup of sugar, 3 teaspoons of vanilla, and ½ a cup of butter. Beat in 3 eggs to the sugar combination. Now add the dry ingredients you mixed earlier into the sugar combination. Last pour in ½ a cup of milk and continue to mix until it is thoroughly incorporated. Divide the mixture into the two prepared cake pans. When you place the pans in the oven make sure they are spaced at least 2 inches away from each other. The cakes should bake about 25 minutes. When the cakes are done let me fully cool off before messing with them. While the cakes cool off it is time to move…
