I showed them what they were making. That got him excited. First I gave him the cake pans and papers. He had to set a paper in each cup. Some had multiple papers but I let that go.........next was to get the eggs out, he was excited about that and wanted to crack them. FOCUS.......no we don't want to crack them, go get two more.....phew!!!. After everything was measured and in the bowl he got to mix it with a big fork, and then I gave him the beaters. (I was not letting him near my food mixer)His face was a picture when he got to the beating part. Here are some pictures.
This is his embarrassed to be proud of himself face.
He couldn't contain himself, he just got the biggest grin and then burst out laughing
He did a great job, then took a break to lick the beaters while Gerry put the batter in the cups.
The cakes came out perfect
Tristen tried one an announced it was good. I snuck in and did the frosting.
I had to agree, they were good. Not something I would normally do but I needed to use up all my baking supplies. I still have more to do. Maybe later this week, but this one was for Tristen to do.
not bad for a 4 year old chef.
