How to build a cake

Cakes are great right? They are used to celebrate great things like birthdays and weddings but what if they symbolized something deeper? The first thing you need to do to make a cake is to get the right kitchen. Then, you need to go out and buy all of the whole and organic ingredients and keep them together. After you do that you have to actually put all the ingredients together correctly and put them in the oven, but not just any oven, it has to be large enough and heated to the right temperature for your cake. Then you take the cake out when the time is right and wait for it to cool, if you don't do this right your entire cake will fall or implode. Then you decorate it with all the right toppings and creams so that after you cool it, you can eat it right away.

Now your wondering why I am talking about cakes, and not its not cause I am hungry (I am) but its because a building cake is like swimming to a T. We need the right kind of pool to swim in with just the right coaches and staff with the right amount of choline. Then we need to train and train ( this is the baking ) and then train some more. Once a meet comes up is when you start to add your toppings. racing is the cooling of the cake and eating it is the winning part. There are analogies for everything but cake fits swimming just for its special features and because they taste good. My coach has been writing an article on just this same thing for a couple of weeks now and its really interesting. Nobody else could have thought of it that way but he is right. There are times and people when you can't find the right ingredients and your cake comes out lopsided but thats ok because you can just start again which is a skill I think people should start to learn for them selves. I don't know when he will finally post his article but you can probably find it on this page.
