The third meeting of the
Wawanosh "Batter Up" 4-H club
was held on Thursday, July 21 at 7
p.m. in the Auburn Hall. The
members then brainstormed names
for the club.
Club President Jolande
Oudshoorn opened the meeting with
the pledge and led the members in
roll call which was to name your
favourite kind of cake. The majority
of members chose chocolate as their
favourite.
After reading through the basics
of cake -making in their books, the
club broke into their baking groups.
Amanda Morrison and Jolande
Oudshoorn made the purchased cake
mix into cupcakes. They also made
butter icing that would be used for
all of the cakes. Maisy Jefferson

Haanstra made the butter cake and
Loretta Higgins, Justin Morrison
and Grace Hallahan followed the
recipe for the spice cake.
Once all cakes were in the oven,
members returned to the table to
choose a club name. After a vote, it
was decided the club would be
called the Wawanosh Twisted
Mixers. Gayle Mcllhargey is to
prepare the cover page featuring this
name for the members' books.
The senior members then gave a
report on the homework they were
given at the last meeting. They
reported on the price and variety of
already baked muffins and muffin
mixes available. The calories and
nutritional value of the muffins were
also discussed.
Mary Ellen asked the members to
mark their calendars for Saturday,
Aug. 13 for the ivomec jug -washing
fundraiser at Edgar's Feed and Seed.
The club then read baking tips from
the book including baking
techniques used in cake baking such
as sifting and creaming, and tricks to
determine when a cake is done.
Once all cakes were out of the
oven and had cooled, members iced
their own cupcake plus the other
cakes and enjoyed them as a snack.
The members all agreed that the
butter cake was the club favourite.
Jolande closed the meeting with the
motto.
The club will meet again on
Friday, Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the
Auburn Hall to learn about making
