Kenna's First Cake!

Kenna is growing up! She prefers to be introduced as Kennedy now, so that all the new people she knows will call her her grown-uppy name. Aw. I still keep forgetting:-) She was recently given a ladybug shaped cake pan that her Aunt was getting rid of. So she decided to make us a cake!

She did everything her self this time, even the oven (using oven mitts for the first time), and checking to see when it's done/how much more time is needed. She's a pretty bad egg cracker, generally (Brooks is pretty decent at it, but she usually explodes them), but this time she lightened up on her touch a little bit, and she claims there were no shells. Bahahaha!

She made icing for the first time, and dyed it herself. She has played around with icing and icing bags/tips before when I'm doing cookies or cakes, so it's not a foreign concept to her to do the decorating. She did a very good job!

I was very impressed at her skill level with the decorating part. Because it really is a little harder than it looks, and for a 10 year old, and her first time attempting something like this, I was really wow-ed!

Here's the ladybug, all done! Kennedy would like it mentioned that her hair looks funny because she just got out of the pool to decorate the cake:-) I posted it on facebook, and she was happy to read all the comments and see all the "likes". So next time I need a cake...I think I've found my baker! It was perfection! It wasn't underbaked, or overbaked, at all!!
