Even after having trees around the house cut down, my kitchen is still quite dark, small and cluttered. I do dream of a nice modern clean Pinterest kitchen with perfect light, but alas it is what it is. My Mum has a beautiful white modern kitchen with lots of light and windows, and I do take the kids around there when we make gingerbread men at Christmas to take photos.
So…I was getting ready to bake my nieces 16th birthday cake when my daughter asked if she could help. Cake decorating is also a hobby, and I can get a little OCD on how things are done.
But this time I said yes, and how can you say no when she comes out in her cute little apron and Hello Kitty whisks.
I’m happy to report there were no egg shells in the mixture, most of the flour went in the pot, and as per usual when it came to clean up time she was nowhere to be seen.
Still mixing everything together with her Hello Kitty whisk.
I told her that she could make cupcakes from the left over cake batter.
The butter has melted, and mixing everything this time with the big whisk.
All mixed together, and in the cupcake liners.
This is when she disappears and I'm left to do all of the cleanup...hmmmm
