My little Martha Stewart

We have a new baker in the house, and it sure as heck ain't me! It completely amazes me that both my daughters love to bake and I could care less. Crazy! Last Friday night my 11 year old decided that she was old enough to bake a cake on her own. Can you say nervous? I told her that would not help her BUT I would watch from the family room (clear view into the kitchen). Of course I just happened to stroll into the kitchen a few times into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Well she did it! All of it -her own! She even rolled out the fondant and cut it herself (thanks B, this was the best gift EVER). She was in her glory and so proud of herself for doing it. I'm so proud of you A (she reads this blog)! My funny face jokester after I told her to open her eyes more when she smiles!

And her Masterpiece
