A cake can become dry and fragile (not hold together well) if it is not moist enough and if it lacks proper bonding during baking.

Water (along with all other liquids) will make the cake moist and not dry.

What does the phrase you cant have your cake mean?

You will not get what you want without giving something in return.

Meaning: To spend or used something up but still have it; to have two things when you must choose one.

Example: You can either go to a movie or get pizza, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Origin: This saying started sometime in the 1540's. Once you've eaten a piece of cake, you don't have it anymore. So you have to a make a decision to eat it or save it. In the same way, money that you've spent is money that you no longer have in your pocket. You have to choose what to do with what you have. The original version of this expression is"you can't eat your cake and have it too."

Well I'm not a chef nor am I a terrible baker! If you want to make a cake from scratch I suggest looking at recipes (www.)foodnetwork.com. For an easy cake you can buy a box of cake mix (Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Duncan Hines etc.) and you can find easy step-by-step instructions. Some essentials you will need are frosting(icing), sprinkles and any other topping you would prefer.

I hope this was helpful and you have fun making your cake!

* Also another fun way to make cakes is to get the Big Top Cupcake (giant cake shaped like a cupcake) for hours of fun!
