For my Project Icarus I am planning to bake a banana cream cake. In the past I would only bake cupcakes and sometimes cakes. But this banana cream cake was special because my mom would always make it for my family for dessert and also for my potluck for baseball. My mom has agreed to be my mentor as she wants me to keep the recipe of her banana cream cake going through the next generation.
So first I came up with idea of banana cream cake because everyone that had eaten the cake would ask me how my mother had made it but I wouldn't know because my mother had never told me how she had made it. But everytime someone had eaten it they would say that it was very delicious. so me and my mother has decided that she would teach me how to make this type of cake so that I can pass it on to the next generation and also to others that haven't tried it before. So when I first made it, I felt so successful because that was the first time I had every made it. I was a hard process because everything had to be precise unlike cupcakes. So just having the satisfaction of making this cake for the first time and everyone in my family liking it was very pleasing for me to know because I wouldn't know how anyone would like it since it was my first time.
Even though this experience was about making a cake, it also made me and my mother closer because she was the one that got passed down the recipe from my grandma and now just being the next generation from her to know it just made it felt more special. Also it really gave me a sense of accomplishment since I don't really bake cakes that often made me even more happy.
