Answers:
you should be proud
baking is NOT plain easy
i can cook almost anything,
but, i cannot bake at all, no matter how i try
well done you
now what are you going to make next??
If you made it from scratch and not from a mix, and don't ordinarily bake, I'd say it's an accomplishment. Baking is definitely a more exact thing... not like cooking veggies, or meats where we can experiment with herbs and spices. So following the recipe, especially for a beginner, is crucial.
Its not plain easy i would say but in my opinion from scratch cakes are maybe the easiest thing to bake but I think that not all the time cakes can be made perfectly and from a first experience that is an achievement if it wasn't burned or undercooked or had too much or too less of something well done :).
Good for you! In my experience, baking is anything BUT easy. I could cook an excellent dinner but when it comes to baking, count me out. keep on cooking!
