Summarize the following:
. Use a paper towel or silicone brush to cover the inside of the pan with a thin layer of butter or shortening.  Add about a teaspoon of flour and shake the pan so the flour begins to stick to the grease. Tilt the pan on its side and tap the pan. Turn and tap until the entire bowl is evenly coated with flour.  Greasing the pan not only ensures your cake will pop out easily, it helps the cake climb the sides of the pan and gives your it more volume.  Turn the pan over and tap gently to remove any excess flour. If you are baking a chocolate cake, you may want to use cocoa powder to prevent a white film that may be left by the flour. By radiating heat from the center of the cake and not just the sides of the pan, the heating core ensures your cake bakes evenly and the middle, sides, and top of the are all done at the same time.  You can use a core shaped like a nail, placing the "head" of the nail on the bottom with the spike pointing upward, or one that is shaped like a long, narrow plug, with the opening pointing up.  You can bake this cake without a heating core, but the depth of the pan means you may over-brown the exposed top and sides of your cake.  A heating core may also prevent your cake from deflating or sagging in the middle. Use a spatula to make sure the batter is even, but be careful not to touch the sides and scrape the grease off the side of the pan. If you use a plug-shaped heating core, don't forget to fill the core with cake batter, too. Fill it a little higher than the level of batter outside the core. The plug-shaped bit of cake will fit into the hole created by the core once it's removed. Bake on the middle rack. You may want to place the round bowl in a standard 8 inch (20.3 cm) cake round pan to make sure it stays level in the oven.  Test the cake by skewering near the center (but not inside the heating core) with a toothpick or kebab stick. If the stick comes out clean (a few crumbs is ok), then the cake is ready.  If the cake is done, the sides should be just starting to pull away from the pan and the center should feel springy when you press it with your finger. Removing the heating core (if you use the core shaped like a plug) can speed up the cooling process. If the top of the cake is raised above the pan, use a knife to carefully trim it flat. Give the pan a little shake to feel if the cake has released the pan and is moving easily. If it seems to be sticking, stick it in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes. Otherwise, place the cooling rack on top of the pan. Holding the rack against the pan, carefully turn them upside-down, together, so the rack is on the bottom you can lift the pan off the cake.  You can loosen the sides by gently running a knife around the edges.  Allow the cake to cool for at least an hour. Frosting or slicing a cake before it has cooled can ruin your cake and will cause your icing to melt.

summary: Grease the the pan Grease and place the heating core in the bottom of the pan. Pour the cake batter into the pan. Bake the cake in an oven heated to 350 °F (177 °C) for 30-40 minutes, or as instructed by cake recipe. Place the pan on a cake rack and cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan.


Summarize the following:
Smile and be polite. You don’t have to make a grand gesture because it will make her feel uncomfortable especially if other people see. Come up with one or two sentences and wait for her response. Speak from the heart and look into her eyes. Say something similar to “I really have fun with you and was wondering if we could hang out more?” or “We laugh all the time and I have such a great time hanging out. I was wondering if you’d go out with me?” Don’t stare at the floor or read from a paper. Keep your emotions in check. If she says no, don’t get angry and yell or prod. If she says yes, embrace her, smile, and plan out your date. Let her see your enthusiasm but don’t go overboard to embarrass her.  If she says no, that isn’t the end of the world. Not only are there other girls you can meet but you also want to show her that you are mature. She may say no because she’s embarrassed and not ready to have a boyfriend yet. She may ask you out later. Don’t damage anything  or lash out at her if you get rejected. She is entitled to her feelings. Middle school will often have several dances throughout the year. They are a great way to go out with her in a social setting as she expects to be asked out. This relieves any pressure. The vibe in a dance is more suited for you two to get to know each other as more than just friends. It may be difficult to hang out with her amidst all your friends watching and wanting to hang out. Make sure to have at least one or two dances to be alone together or schedule a time for a walk to just talk. If you are very nervous and find it overwhelming to talk to her, you may write her a note to get your thoughts and feelings organized. Make sure you give it to her directly so she knows it’s from you and not a prank. Don’t give it to her during class or the teacher may make you read it out loud. Don’t be nervous about rejection because you won’t see her reaction. You may ask her to respond with a note or a simple yes or no. No one is closer than her friends. They will know how best to approach her. Be friendly to them and ask them how you should ask her. As a final attempt, you may ask them to ask her on your behalf.  You may also ask your own friends to ask her if they know her better or are more confident with you. Just make sure you rehearse what to say so that your friend is clear. Face-to-face conversations may be difficult so pick up the phone and call her. You may also text her but sometimes it’s difficult to get the meaning across. Make sure you have an activity in mind before asking her out this way. You also have to get her number from her friends or directly from her so she’ll probably know why you’re contacting her. While you don’t have to give her something expensive, a thoughtful gift may put you in her good graces. You may give her a cool notebook, a fun pen, a CD, or candy or chocolates.  You may also place a note with your gifts so that she knows how you feel. Give the gift directly to her because if you give it to someone else, she may think it’s from her and not from you. You may also try to give her her favourite treat. This shows that you have paid attention to her needs and want to make her happy.
summary: Keep things simple. React appropriately. Ask her to dance. Write a note. Talk to her friends. Call her. Give her a gift.
