All this rain spells B-O-R-E-D-O-M for the squidlets on school holidays, and there is only so much braving the elements with expensive outings one can do.....
Sooooo after having to blow the whistle and hand out yellow cards all morning for those of us prone to wrestle when out of their minds, I had to come up with a plan.
What better way to keep us all entertained (and finally motivate me to finally CLEAN the oven from the Kings late night pork crackle fetish over christmas..eewww) than a morning of baking......
Miss 8 made a banana cake in a square tin, I am emphasising this part as APPARENTLY it is very important, important enough to start a full scale blow out even....
Master 5 made his all time favourite, yes its in the genes people, a dark Chocolate cake, in a round tin!
They managed to actually listen to step by step instructions, with the ingredients set out for them to use as needed (something I learned from my cooking class in Saigon with Miss 8) and only 'tasted' a couple of times, they were both so keen to do a great job as a surprise for Daddy.
Cakes are now cooling off on bench, and kids patience for icing them is waning, we'll see. I will post pics of their masterpieces for you to drool collectively over later, come on by for a slice and a cuppa x
