If you've been slouching for quite some time, it comes naturally to you. The moment you relax, you let your guard down, and you start slouching. Most smartphones are outfitted with a reminders feature nowadays, so try setting up a reminder for yourself to straighten your back.

Giving yourself reminders may seem silly at first, but those little reminders will add up and soon you'll be standing up straight without even thinking about it at all.

If this is your first time baking a cake, you'll want to start with the very basics. You'll need four things: cake, frosting, parchment paper, and a dull knife with a straight, non-serrated edge. Optionally, you can add decorations such as sprinkles, candles, fresh fruit, edible flowers, or whatever you'd like to top your cake with.

Lay your cake on a platter or other flat surface and ensure that it is completely cool. If you want to make a multi-layer cake, spread a thick, even layer of frosting along the top of your cake and place another cake round of the same size on top. Press gently. Repeat with as many layers as you'd like, keeping in mind that the more layers you add, the less stable your cake will be.

Place small bits of parchment around the base of the cake, going in between the platter and the cake. This will keep your platter clean while you decorate.

Start placing generous amounts of frosting on the top of your cake. Using your knife, gently coerce the frosting to coat the top of the cake, and slowly moving onto the sides. Run your knife vertically along the sides of the cake to spread the frosting and smooth the edges. Smooth the top and shape to your liking until the cake is completely coated.

Now that your cake is frosted, you can start having fun with decorating. Add sprinkles, candles, or fruit in any way that you like. Scrape frosting from the edges of the cake for a "naked" look. Arrange fruit decoratively on the top. Press edible flowers along the sides. It's all up to you.
