Beeeeeep!!! Bakers ran fast like cheetahs to their stations. The bright light was shining on the metal bowls. The contestants will be competing in a baking competition. The names are Daniela, Annabel and Evelyn. Annabel had a focused face but on the other hand Daniela had a mischievous look and Evelyn started off quiet.

10 minutes has past… Daniela was like a spy… “Boo” Scared Daniela. Evelyn threw her bowl into the air with a jump. “Ahhhh, Daniela ” Screamed Evelyn. She ran straight back to her station. Annabel wasn’t speaking, not once in the competition.

“Okay bakers 1 hour left” Annabel was rushing. Ding!! That was the sound of an oven, never mind two. Daniela and Evelyn weren’t rushing. This round is to make a cupcake, the second round is to make a pie and the third round is to make a cake. Annabel was making piglet cupcakes. Daniela was making galaxy cupcakes and Evelyn was making turtle cupcakes.

Evelyn was trying her hardest to make the cupcake but she couldn’t stop staring at Daniela, she knew Daniela would scare her again. “How are you girls going?” Questioned Annabel. It seemed to me that Annabel was trying to rub it in. “ I’m going great” Exclaimed Evelyn
“Not too well” Said Daniela in a squeaky voice. The cupcakes turned out good when they had been cooking for 1hour and 15 minutes.

Annabel was starting to do the piglet, Daniela was making the icing to go on top of her cupcake and Evelyn was making the icing as well. “ Bakers 10 minutes left” Daniela was adding white to look like the stars, Annabel was adding her piglet on and Evelyn was adding her turtle on. The frustration in Evelyn's face was worrying me. “ Times up” As they took their hands off their cupcakes, a big gush of wind came by and blew the cupcakes off the table and on the floor. “ Noooo!” Shouted Annabel
“Well it looks like we will have to go on the next round, go bake a pie of your sort.”

The sound of the buzzer was going off. Daniela was making a pumpkin spice pie, Annabel was making a blueberry pie and Evelyn’s making a raspberry pie. It was going really well, until… Daniela creeps up to Annabel’s station and adds chili powder. “ What did you do Daniela?” Annabel said in anger. Annabel poured her mixture with flour, egg, milk and the chili powder on Daniela’s head. “ How dare you!!” Daniela’s face was as red as a tomato.“ That’s it!” Daniela grabs the eggs quickly and cracks them on Annabel. Annabel gets slimed from the eggs. Annabel grabs the oil...

Daniela quickly grabs the flour and pours the whole bag on Annabel and because there was wind the flour blew on to Evelyn. There was a sudden scream coming from the right side… ” Ahhhhh, my new shoes!” Shouted Evelyn. At this point, the judges shouted “You are all disqualified” Nobody has won due to the silliness of two people.
