My three youngest grandchildren decided they wanted to make cakes with their Dad at the weekend, and I would share their efforts. They went out with him and bought all the ingredients, and "toppings". On Sunday they all descended on me so that I could supervise the icing (or was it more that they could mess my kitchen up and I could do all the washing up - lol!) I wasn't really needed apart from initially showing them how to use a spatula to apply the icing. The rest was up; to them.
Here are some close ups of the cakes.
 |
| Lemon sponge with poppy seeds (I think this would make a good Christmas cake idea) |
 |
| You can't see the buttercream underneath, but she did a pattern on it with a fork and a knife drawn through it to created a "feathered" look |
 |
| The six yer old needed a little hand operating the nozzle on the chocolate icing as it was a little hard for her - so I pressed and she guided - at least she managed some leaves. |
Even my son made a cake for a friend's birthday.
Now do you think I can get them to make and ice the family Christmas Cakes this year ?
