Probably the easiest thing to bake for a beginner would be something from a box or something that doesn't take much to make!.
Chinese Restaurant Donuts
Refrigerator biscuits
Sugar to roll the fried donuts in
Oil
1!. Fry the biscuits in some oil until done!.
2!. Drain them a bit on a paper towel!.
3!. Roll them in sugar!.
4!. Enjoy!
Cake
Buy a cake mix from the store!. Buy your favorite icing!.
Follow the instructions on the back!. You can make either cake or cupcakes!. If you like you can decorate the cakes with sprinkles!.
Brownies
Buy a pre-made brownie mix!. Follow instructions except add 1/2 cup chocolate chips!. It makes them even more chocolately!. You can also put icing on top!.
Other variations: You can make two brownie mixes!. Put icing, melted marshmellows, pudding or whatever you like in the middle!.
Easiest way to move a brownie or cake is to use a plate!. Though if you really don't want to take the chance of breaking your brownie then cut the brownies, ice the middle and stick two of them together!.
Upside Down Cake
Prepare cake as package says but put fruit on the bottom of the cake pan!. I usually use pineapple!.
Other Cake ideas: Put canned pie filling on top!. Decorate with Whipped Cream and Strawberries for an easy shortcake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
