Copy and Cake

Lately Hannah has enjoyed climbing on top of Ruth..... You can see where she learns it from.
Rachel is having a birthday party on Saturday - so it's cake time again. Normally I get the cakes baked during the day and do all the icing once the girls have gone to bed. So it was nice today to rather do the icing while the little two were sleeping and Rachel and I planned and designed the cake together. Rachel helped a bit with the actual making, but because this was only my second go at the "ready-to-roll" icing, I still did most of the actual work. I am sure next year she will do a lot more herself. She so enjoyed being a part of the "design team" though and so that was really fun.
Rachel was very happy with the results. Over the hours that we worked she kept saying "that looks great Mom". It was nice for her to get to see the steps involved and not just the end product. Although she helped in deciding things, she did not really know what it would look like until things got put on. So it was really enjoyable for her.
