Stand Mixer & Swiss Roll

My parent went to the S'pore expo and buy a fridge so i told my mummy help me to look out for the stand mixer if is selling under $30. Is too tiring using hand mixer to blend the batter. =p

And... my Daddy bought me a stand mixer at $36. It is abit expensive as i thought there are selling less than 30 buck. Anyway love daddy so much. Hehe...
I wanted to try out my new pet (stand electric mixer) so i went to do my homework for days to find out how to bake a swiss roll cake but the output result FAIL.

I'm always excited and looking forward to the day if i have planned to bake something and i would automatic wake up super early the next day. But today my heart sank and quite sad because i fail in baking a sponge cake.
Early in the morning went to the NTUC and bought the baking ingredient, total spend $17.10.
Back to the topic about the sponge cake, the cake turn out sticky and it crack when i roll it. My pan is too big and batter is too little so in the end the sponge cake is too thin.
Whipping cream - ohh i nearly bought a 200ml cost $6.90, I was shiok to see the price. At first i can't find other whipping cream so i thought just buy it but i keep hesitant and go back to the cooler shelf and look for other alternatives of cheaper whipping cream and so lucky i manage to find a 300ml cost $3.60. Anyway i FAIL to make the whipping cream into smooth and stiff peaks, somehow it turn out like watery butter.

2 botch within a day, it is so dishearten. However I try to comfort by telling myself is okay to fail but don't give up, nothing come in success within one attempt.  Practice make perfect, i will try again until i success in making one.
In the end i throw all away into the bin, i feel so wasted in term of the consumption ingredient.
