Modules week 3 - Cooking

"We are cooking with Mrs Swanson. We made jam and cake and rice bubble cake and chocolate crackles," said Alec, Eli and Tayla.

"We mixed the icing sugar and the cocoa together and then we put hot water in", remarked Ruben.

Ashley said "We spreaded icing on top of the cake and then we sprinkled sprinkles on top."

"Mrs Robinson cut the finished cake in half, then cut the 2 halves in half, then cut those into 3," said Emma.

Making the jam...

"We had to mush up the strawberries. We add this natural stuff and sugar," said Callum.

Tayla said that the natural stuff is jam setting mix.

"Mrs Swanson poured the jam into the jars," said Chiara.

"After Mrs Swanson had poured the strawberry jam into the glass containers, they were really hot," commented Haylee.
