Baking/Entertaining: Teaching My Peach to Cake Decorate

Learning to "crumb-coat".  We used the Viva paper towel method to smooth the frosted cake.
We switch off years for the kids birthdays when it comes to parties.  This year is a "family birthday" year,  so there are no extravagant parties in the works.  Thus, without the stress of party planning, it's a perfect year to let my kids try their hand at decorating their own cakes.  My daughter dreamed up the theme and design of her cake.  She helped bake, frost and decorate it.

Finished product.  My girl's face says it all.  Sometimes it really does pay to invest all the time and patience into training your kiddos.
