Kate bakes a lot. She makes bakes of all
shapes, such as cakes, cupcakes and tray
bakes.

1
On this day, she makes a bake with dates.
She must add eggs and milk.

Dad can not wait till it’s baked so that he can

taste it.
2
Kate cuts the bake and Dad has a bit.
‘Must I pay for the cake, Kate?’ says Dad
with a wink.

3
Mum wakes up from a nap and makes her
way to the cake.
‘Yum, Kate!’ Mum calls. ‘Jay, you must
taste this!’

4
‘Mum!’ yells Jay. ‘Kate made me wait to have
the cake!’
Kate gives in. ‘Jay, you are such a pain. Take
a bit of cake and buzz off to play.’

5
Kate brings the date bake for her mates to
munch at lunch break.
‘It’s great, Kate!’ say her mates.

6
As for Kate, she hates dates. She is not a big
fan of the cake.

7
Kate’s next plan is to make plain cupcakes
with pink whip on top.
Yum, thinks Kate with a grin.
