I took Elia to the grocery store with me today, and she said she wanted to make a "Back to School" cake since we start back on Monday. (Is the summer really over?) Anyway, we picked up a cake mix, icing, and icing tubes and sprinkles to decorate. Kevin ended up baking the cake while we played outside with Dalton, Cami, and Carol. The cake was cool and ready to decorate by the time we came in from playing outside. The kids decided it would be a good idea to draw out what how they wanted to decorate their cake before they got to work. Elia and Dalton teamed up and decided to put a heart and write "Back to School" on their cake. Cami and Ava decided to make a rocket ship and fireworks on their cake. Here are the kids making a rough draft before they started their masterpieces:
Let the fun begin!!!
Here is Dalton and Elia's finished product: (It really does say "Back to School". It was just hard for their little hands to push the icing tube and write neatly at the same time.)
And here is Ava and Cami's cake: (It sort of looks like a Smurf pooped on their cake! LOL!)
Of course, you can't let any leftover icing go to waste!
School may be starting Monday, but I am sure our fun is not over yet. We love having our sweet friends living right next door so we always have someone fun to play with and decorate cakes!!!
