"Peer Response"

In one of Matt Thurber's blog posts he discusses how his mom used to bake cakes and have them around his house to eat as he pleased. He talks about how he likes home-made cakes, made from scratch, much better than he does cakes made from pre-made batter. He says that it seems like a delicacy for him to now eat a cake made from scratch. He also talks about how cakes can be made in all shapes and sizes depending on the pan that they are baked in. He mentions that layer cakes are a fancier type of cake often times made and eaten on special occasions. He says that his favorite cake is carrot cake and goes into detail explaining how his mom makes it. Matt has two internet links in this blog he wrote as well. The first link is a link on how to make carrot cake. In this link it tells you the ingredients you need to bake the cake as well as the steps to make the cake. Some of these steps include: preheating the oven to 350 degrees F, blending the ingredients, and beating the ingredients until they are slightly thickened. After completing all the steps you poor the batter into a pan and bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes. His second link is about different types of pans you can bake cakes in. It talks about the advantages and disadvantages of different pans. Some of these advantages are the shape of the cake and the time it take to bake the cake. I agree with Matt that carrot cake is good however, I prefer angel food cake.
