A few nights ago while shopping at the grocery store Alexander informed me that he really needed to buy a cake. "We need to celebrate, Mom!" When I asked him what we need to celebrate he wasn't quite sure, "Mom, we just need to have a cake to celebrate." "We will have a cake party."
The cake mix he wanted was on sale, so I really couldn't say no. He chose a white cake with sprinkles inside and cream cheese frosting. He was so excited to bake the cake, and was very disappointed when I told him he had to wait until morning.
The first thing out of his mouth when he woke up the next morning was, "Mom, I need to bake my cake." After eating a nutritious breakfast, we started baking the cake. Alex did all of the work, including cracking the eggs. He is so good at cracking eggs it is unbelievable. He read the numbers so we knew what temperature to set the oven and the timer. It was a fun and educational experience for him.
After frosting the cake we cut a piece for Alex to taste. It must have been that big breakfast that filled his belly, all that work and Alexander didn't even taste the cake!
Jaxon climbed up to take a bite when no one was looking. I had to taste it too, it was delicious, Alexander is a great baker, just like his Grandpa Dale.
