I feel like I mostly did alright helping my wife make the baked goods
When the church asked if anyone could bring some baked goods for their baked goods fundraiser, my wife volunteered us.
It wasn’t that I didn’t feel confident in her cooking some awesome baked goods, it was that I didn’t have any confidence that I could make anything good.
She had me help out with all kinds of things, brownies, cookies, and even some mouthwatering cherry coffee cake with icing drizzled on the top. Now of course while we were cooking, I had the air conditioning system cranked up. It’s a good thing we have a smart thermostat because I was adjusting the temperature control settings up and down. At least that was until my wife said to leave the temperature control settings alone and focus on the food. I actually ended up burning the first batch of cookies, I burned those to a crisp. My wife exclaimed that I had to pay careful attention to the cookies because they don’t take very long to bake. So I timed everything carefully after that and I was actually getting a hang of all the baking. My wife of course made everything look easy and I’m certain I couldn’t have done anything without her, but she had me make some brownies and cookies on my own as well. We had a ton of brownies and cookies and a few coffee cakes all ready for the bake sale at the church. When we brought all the food, the bishop kept complimenting us saying how we did fine work. The temperature control settings at the church were nice too, and the bake sale went pretty well, everything we brought was sold!
