Alice has been learning about cake decorating in her FCS class.
She came home so excited! All these instructions were available on YouTube, and she wanted to make the panda bear cake.
Never mind that she has never even baked a cake before,
let alone frosted one.
But she wanted this for her birthday,
and she wanted to bake it herself.
With just a little help every now and then.
She had a few questions for me about greasing cake
pans, etc., but she did it all.
Kevin helped a touch with the decorating--after
all it was his licorice that was used.
Alice also was very innovative. 2-inch chocolate wafers were called for, and we didn't have any such thing (that is larger than an oreo cookie). So Alice got out yogurt lids, melted some chocolate, and made her own chocolate rounds. And I think these will taste better than the wafers!
And now we have a panda bear to eat!
Alice, your cake looks great, and Mom's right, you are really clever and creative. That's such a smart idea of using the yogurt rounds (and it will definitely taste better!). May this be your first panda bear (out of many more to come :-)
