Taking it day by day

Four eggs.

Two, no... One cup of milk.

One stick of Butter.

Two cups sugar.

Three cups flour.

A teaspoon of vanilla, or was it two?

No, it was one.

And, lastly, Four spoons of baking soda.

"Alright!  So, Pinkie Pie, you sure you can make this cake? You know how you are with them."

Pinkie Pie looked up from the cookbook, and nodded. "You betcha! I'll make this cake, and you two can go watch that movie thingie!"

Mr.Cake sighed, but nodded nonetheless. "It's a parenting seminar. The missus thinks it's a good idea to go to it. So, Are you really sure you can do this?"

"Uh huh! Now, you go. I'll stay and bake, and frost the cakes. Now shoo!"

Mr.Cake left the room, and that left Pinkie Pie to herself. "So, let's see...."

Glancing to the book, she read the first step.

"Alright! Umm... preheat the oven to... three hundred and fifty degrees?" She mumbled to herself as she read. She quickly did as it told, and turned on the oven.

"Oh, this is gonna be easy! Next step, eh, cream together the sugar and butter? I thought it didn't need cream... Huh. Maybe it means mix? Yeah, I'll go with that."

She put the butter and sugar in the largest bowl she found, and mixed.

"Okie dokie, mix in eggs one at a time. Can do!"

She quickly grabbed the eggs, and threw them in the bowl.

"Oh yeah! Silly me, You have to take them out of the shells."

Grabbing a spoon, she plucked each egg out of the mix of butter and sugar, and cracked them open, pouring the contents into the mix.

"Alright! So, after it's mixed, umm.... stir in the vanilla, and then add the flour and baking soda, after mixing them in a separate bowl? Easy peasy."

She poured in the vanilla, and, after a short bit of mixing, moved onto the flour and baking soda. Grabbing the flour, she quickly scooped up three cups of the white powder.

"This would be sooooo much easier if I had magic...." She mumbled under her breath as she stuck her head in the flour bin again. As she pulled herself out, she found her nose starting to itch.

"Stupi....Aaaa..... sneeze....AAAaaaaa.... AAAAaaaaaaa....."

Silence.

"Wait, that's it?"

Grumbling, she sighed as she cleaned off his nose, and added the baking soda.

"Stupid almost sneeze..." She grumbled as she mixed.

As she finished, she grabbed the one thing she dreaded. The cake pan. The reason she failed so often.

"Now, I will beat you, pan!"

She quickly poured the mix into the cake pan, and put it in the stove.

"Now, how long do I have to bake?"

One quick look to the instructions told her that it would be roughly thirty to forty minutes.

"That long? Ugghhhhh..."

After her wait was over, she opened the stove, and looked at the cake. "Perfect."

After grabbing a hot pad, she carefully grabbed the pan, and....

*Clang!*

Quickly dropped it on the floor.

"Awwww, Again?!"
