Counting Blessings: Cakes:)

Today's Blessing #1:  An Opportunity to Share

Several weeks ago, I was asked to share my cake decorating skills with the 8-11 year old achievement day girls in my ward.  I was very happy to say yes.

So yesterday I spent time before church and after Daidre's missionary farewell baking up small round cakes and mixing up frosting.  Then this afternoon, I brought my decorating supplies to the church and got to watch seven young girls create cake masterpieces and I think they all had a wonderful time doing it too!

Now I could have baked up some pre-formed Halloween cakes or other designs, but I wanted the girls to have the opportunity to ice, edge, draw, and fill-in.  They did wonderful!  And as you can see from the finished products, they each put their own personality into their cake.  I suggested they draw a jack-o-lantern on top of their cake, but they wanted to draw hearts.  I was totally good with that!  And their cakes turned out beautiful!!
