The girls had a great time with the cake. They began baking the cake while Phillip, Cara and I were at the grocery store. When we were unloading the groceries, we noticed a burning smell. The girls overfilled the pan and the excess was oozing over the top and onto the heating element. What a lovely smell. They also had a little difficulty getting the cake out of the pan. I told them that you can hide all sorts of flaws with icing and not to worry. They had the best time mixing up the colors of icing and using all of the different tips. We had some difficulty with the pastry bags. They were old and split when they tried to use them. No problem, we were able to adapt zip-loc bags. Once Mr. Bear was complete, they loved posing with him and showing off their creation. As you can see, the Squid and Moose hats made another appearance. You cannot decorate cakes without your favorite hat.
Robyn loves crazy hats. For Christmas, she wanted this squid hat she found on Etsy. Being the horrible mother that I am, I told her Santa probably would not be bringing the squid. Thankfully for her, Nana came to the rescue and she is now a proud owner of a blue squid hat. Last month when we were at EPCOT, she found a moose hat at the Canada exhibit and it had to be hers. Again the planets were in alignment because it was on sale for $10.00. Today she and two friends worked on a chemistry scavenger hunt after school. They modeled the hats and when I asked if I could take a picture, they were all for it. I dared to take it one step further and asked if I could use the picture for the blog, and again Robyn said yes. Is this the same person who gave me such grief on Saturday when I wanted to take a picture of her feet?
