Cake Bakin' and Mess Makin'

One of Talon's favorite things is helping Amanda and me in the kitchen, especially when we are baking cookies or something. This probably happens on more occasions than it should, but hey...cookies are awesome.

He says and does some of the craziest things when he's helping us!

This is a story about baking a cake. In order, as it happens. Talon is helping.

Talon first added the eggs to the mix.

Talon likes to stand in the chair to help and if you don't move the chair over to the counter he'll gladly move it for you.


"It's going fast!"

He still thinks we're making cookies.... 

And he already asked for the green pancakes we made during icepocalypse!

It looks even more gross in person, I promise.

We're making Funfetti cake, which is unquestionably the best kind of cake there is! 



The cake is in the oven and its time to make some homemade icing! 


Time to cream some butter with cocoa!


Talon got chocolate on his hands and said "that's poop"

Time to add the powdered sugar and milk!


Just a public service announcement, putting the mixer on high will result in powdered sugar cloud.


Sometimes I think he makes a mess on purpose because he gets to eat it. 



I think he likes it so far!

Oh yea, ready for some icing!


"You makin' circles?"




All done!

The icing turned out to not be very thick. 



Meanwhile, Talon is tracing his hand...



This is one way to get the extra icing off... I think something may have gone wrong. 


And now we eat!


Sorta...
