How to Cook Cake with Candle

In a small house near Makeni town, big drama was cooking literally

It was Papa’s anniversary, and the family wanted to surprise him with a nice homemade cake. So daughter Fatmata, who once watched half of a baking video on YouTube (and didn’t finish it), took charge.

She marched into the kitchen, mixed flour with Fanta (don’t ask why), added sugar, and poured everything into a plate. Then she carefully placed a giant candle right on top.

Her face was serious. She looked like a contestant on MasterChef Sierra Leone.

Mama! I’m preparing a cake for Papa’s party!. she shouted proudly, smiling like she invented baking.

Mama Kadiatu walked in, saw the cake, saw the candle and nearly fainted.

Look at where your fire is, Mama shouted.
How will the cake cook like that.! The fire is on TOP.. Remove the fire and put it UNDER the cake, you idiat

Fatmata blinked.

Mama but the candle is fire nah

Yes, but this one is decoration fire, Not cooking fire, yaaaa

The neighbors outside started laughing.

Uncle Alhaji peeped through the window and said, Fatmata, please next time just buy bread and call it cake.. It’s safer

Even the cat ran from the kitchen like, This house no dey safe

Papa entered just in time to see the candle melting into the flour soup-cake.

He looked at everyone and said, If this is the surprise, please return me to bed. I want peace, not polzon

And that’s how Papa’s party cake became pap (custard) with wax flavor.

:Not every fire is for cooking. And not everyone who owns flour is a baker
