Technology Reflection(Cooking)

Today we had Technology and I was very sad because it was our last day in Cooking Class.But then I was excited because I'm gonna learn something new in a new class.For our last session in Cooking we made a chocolate cake with whip cream on top.It was very fun and funny because when we were mixing it was watery because my buddy forgot the flour.When I was laughing I got in trouble because I was laughing more than working.Throughout this experience I felt very happy of myself.Another thing I found funny was when our cake finished baking it came out looking like a rock.The part I found challenging was trying to mix it because It felt like dough.The part I like the most is eating it with whip cream.
