So now it's my 5th baking club class, and a lot of people are good at baking, and some are already getting into the second-level cooking class! But for me, I am stuck in this one.
After school when I go to the baking club, I see the students already making something! So I went to my work station and looked at the recipe that I was given. The recipe I was given was called, Chai Meringue Pie. And apparently Mr.Mauliu says it is very hard. Plus, the other students got easier recipes! But Mr.Mauliu just says "Your Just a better baker!" honestly though, I think it's because I know how mean he is, and just does not want anybody to know.
Anyways, so I started baking, and a few minutes later, I looked to see how much time was left in the class, AND THERE WAS ONLY FIVE MINUTES LEFT! Because there was only 10 minutes left, I had to hurry. So I did. I mixed all of the chai ingredients together, and put it into the pie crust, and then put it in the quick-bake oven, and set the timer for 3 minutes because it cooks fast, as you can see in the name of the oven. While it was baking, I made the meringue and put it in a piping bag, and rushed to get the pie. When I got the pie, I quickly piped the meringue on, and because the recipe told me to blowtorch the meringue, that's what I did. I blowtorched it, burnt my finger, washed my finger, and quickly finished the decor on the pie.
The finished pie had blueberries, strawberries, and shredded mango and coconut as toppings, and that's right when Mr.Mauliu announced that it was time for the tasting. When It was my turn to get the pie tasted, I went up and cut a slice, and then gave it to Mr.Mauliu.
"Hmm. It's okay, but not as good as Snow McWhite's dragon fruit muffins." Says Mr.Mauliu while whipping his mouth with his handkerchief. "Now Miss.McWhite, you will be going to the second-level baking class next week because of how great your muffins are!"
"Yay!" Squeals McWhite.
"Now everyone may be dismissed. Except for Miss. Lauriel Hughart." Says Mr.Mauliu with a smirk on his face.
I was shocked, and guessed what he was going to tell me right as he told me to take the pie back to my house, and warned me, If I ever make something that tasted good like the pie again, that I will get kicked out of the club. I was even more Shocked this time! So he did like the pie! But He is still mean. So I wrapped up the pie, packed up my backpack, and walked home because I told Atlas that I will walk home by myself this time.
When I got home, I ate some pie, which I also really liked, gave some to my siblings, and went to bed.
