Michael's school Fall Festival is tomorrow and once again he wanted to make a cake for the cake decorating contest...I asked him last week what he planned on making and he said a U.S. flag...we put our minds together and below is what he did.

It took him 4 hours; 1 hour last night to mix the cake up and bake it and 3 hours tonight to decorate it. It was a learning experience for him as I made him research the flag and he had to figure out how many stars and how many red stripes and white stripes. He used a ruler and with my help figured out how wide to make the stripes and the field of blue. The stars were a bit tricky. We had to recount several times before we got them right.I think he did a great job and he liked working with fondant, he told me it was fun cause it was like play dough. When we finished up, (yes I made him clean up too) he said Mom this cake was so much easier to make than that spider cake last year, I totally agree!

He didn't win :o( But he gave it his best and that is all that matters!
Hi Wendy,
Yeh you're right, the best part was to give its best to try to win. but that's not what matter at the end. I guess both of you really enjoyed this hard time baking moment, and that's what matters... He is growing up ;-)
