Our Love of Films Despite Initial Success

It was surprising that our initial success with finding shops that accepted contactless payment was met with an effort to locate other stores that could accept this method of payment. We ended up heading to a mall to try and find something we could buy from T-Mobile, as the question arose whether there was anything that could be purchased. During our visit, Mike shared an idea that Ben and Mary were being as efficient as us in their efforts, but it was determined that they might not have been when it came to selecting the right music for their tasks.

The Idea Was Put into Action

Mike's idea sparked a discussion about whether Ben and Mary were doing everything efficiently. If the music played was fun, then likely not. This led to an investigation of how they had managed to complete their tasks with ease. It was discovered that they had found an app to deliver ingredients for cooking kit needed to complete a recipe. This discovery led to some reflection on our own approach and how we could improve our efficiency.

The Birthday Cake

A birthday celebration was in order, and Melissa's friend was the one celebrating. We had received information about the birthday party and were determined to make it special. A trip to a mall was made, where we found a suitable location for a cake that would meet the needs of the occasion. The ingredients for a green tea matcha and white chocolate cake were purchased, and with some guidance from Melissa's friend, the cake was created.

The Cake Process

Assembling the cake required careful attention to detail. Softened butter and caster sugar were creamed together until they became pale and fluffy. Eggs were then separated, with the egg yolks going into the butter and sugar mixture and the egg whites being whisked to form stiff peaks. Milk was added to loosen the batter before folding in flour, baking powder, matcha powder, and the egg whites in two batches. The green tea mixture was transferred to a baking tin and baked at 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 45 minutes.

Check the Cake

To determine if the cake was done, a skewer was inserted into the center of the cake. If it came out clean, the cake had reached its desired level of doneness. After checking, we left the cake to cool, ready for decoration and serving.

The Birthday Gift

We returned from our shopping trip with all the necessary ingredients, including fresh clothes for everyone in attendance. An idea was formed about dressing alike, as there were some fantastic deals available. We decided to take advantage of a buy one get three free offer, so we purchased additional items while others continued to decorate the cake.

The Cake Decoration

As the other two participants finished decorating the cake with frosting and other toppings, I returned with everything that had been purchased earlier, including the fresh clothes. It was clear that we had all done an excellent job on this challenge, and we were proud of our accomplishments.

Melissa's Presentation

Our task now was to pick up Melissa at her home, dressed as characters from the classic 1968 film "A Clockwork Orange." We arrived at the designated location, where a Volkswagen Beetle awaited. The car was decorated with colorful flowers and other decorations that fit the San Francisco hippie vibe of the era.

The Big Reveal

As we approached Melissa's house, she received our message, expressing surprise about how well organized everything had turned out. She welcomed us warmly and invited us to join her at a barbecue in the classic Volkswagen Beetle. The atmosphere was lively and festive, with music playing and people laughing together.

Recipe Ball - Our New Game

After the successful birthday party, we decided to create our own game called "Recipe Ball." This new activity involved mixing ingredients and creating different recipes using various cooking techniques. We discussed how to make this game more engaging and accessible to others, leading us to create a video that would be shared on social media.

Conclusion

The experience of helping Melissa celebrate her birthday was a unique and enjoyable challenge for all of us involved. The process of making the green tea matcha and white chocolate cake required careful attention to detail and coordination among team members. We were proud of our accomplishments and grateful for the opportunity to help make this special occasion unforgettable for Melissa.
