My three steps to baking a cake for my mother is first going to the store and buying everything you need to make a cake. Mixing up all the ingredients and baking it in the oven. Finally I will decorate the cake with pretty colors and write happy birthday on it with a candle on top.

I would have to get the correct number of ingredients and make sure they are the right amount. Next i would have to stir up everything, combining the ingredients. Lastly i would put it in a pan and let it bake....

Since I do not know how to bake, I would ask my moms what kind of cake does she favor, and I would go to great bakery, and tell that chef to bake the specific cake, and add a little something special, and design with stuff like "Happy Birthday Ma"!
