Escapades in the kitchen

James decided he wanted to decorate a cake this weekend. I think he did pretty good for his first cake.

Mom, the beaters hit the butter and the powder sugar went all over!

Decorating the cake

The final product.

The camera on my cell phone isn't the greatest, but it was the easiest thing to grab tonight. One thing I did finally learn this week was how to email photos from my phone. lol...takes me a while sometimes. At least I know how to text so I can pester John whenever I feel like it.

Eagle Cake

When Johnathan had his Eagle Court of Honor I made a special cake for the refreshments. I made the center part of the Eagle badge in color flow icing and the rest in regular buttercream frosting. All that was on a cake made by yours truly. 100% homemade by mom.

Well, this time around Johnathan is coming home on Thursday. Company is coming Thursday and Friday afternoon, our nephew is racing in the Twilight Criterium Saturday, followed by Timothy's Eagle Court of Honor. With all that going on I decided the cake will be a Winco special this time around. Tim chose white cake with chocolate frosting and raspberry filling. The writing will say, "Congratulations, Eagle Scout!"

This is the decoration for the cake...



The entire thing is color flow icing. The kids talked me into letting them help so it's a little rough, but it's the memories that count.
