Today we baked cakes. Initially, we were baking a cake for Vince's birthday (this is my sister's husband). The boys were excited to help mix the batter and everything, so I thought, hey--why not bake two cakes, letting each boy help with one whole cake. So, this is what we did.
Keats helped with the first cake and we made two round cakes out of that batter.
Sully helped with the second cake, and we made a standard 13x9 cake out of that.
I let each of the boys frost and decorate one of the round cakes. The rectangular cake was cut in half and I made a double-decker cake for Vince's birthday.
Keats made his cake into a Lego brick with four studs. He is so funny, using the frosting extremely sparingly and not making a mess at all. He also used the sprinkles very frugally. He has always done this with art and with decorating.
Sully, on the other hand, is all about the frosting! The more the better, in his opinion. He did a great job with frosting and was very careful to make everything even. Then he was extremely liberal with the sprinkles, too, and in the end he put a smiley face on his cake using his fingers to draw.
You can see above that Geddy was terribly interested in the possibility of eating some cake. She is such a scavenger, even licking the frosting off of Sullivan's frosting knife!
