Dear Family & Friends,
It's been a dreary day with dark clouds, constant showers, and so we feel colder, matching the gloomy outlook. These days call for cakes and hot drinks to cheer us up...so off we went to visit the kitchen... and this is what we found!
This cake loaf developed some beauty spots.... got too close to the upper deck I suppose ;D
Causing his other cake loaf friend to crack up in a much BIGGER laughter!!
Ah naughty cakes...when can I get it right?? But they were delicious to accompany a cup of tea, despite their looks: )
My partner in the kitchen (aka my little girl), on the other hand, continued on honing her bake-a-cookie skill and she is getting fast in coming up with her goods too! ...but not as fast as we could eat them:)
We also did a teeny weeny sweet pie... and shared it for the teddy bear tea party...
Oppps, after clearing up the kitchen mess, I think this teeny weeny dining table & chairs need dusting!!...seriously!... and probably make a nice table cloth and chair cushions...in that order:)
So, its time to come back to the serious job that awaits us here! Till next time....
Yours,
Annie
Hi Annie! Sounds like quality mother-daughter bonding time in the kitchen. I like such activities with the kids... Doesn't matter if what we bake or cook turn out nice or not.. Bonus if it does... as long as enjoy the process.
ReplyDeleteI think its good to play around with your children now and again...having fun together is important:)...creating memories that will last a long time:)
DeleteThe descriptions of your cakes put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteGlad I/the cakes brought you some smiles...I'm glad to hear that too:)
DeleteI'm not into baking but they say cannot take out when it is too hot - let it cool in the oven first so it will not be all wrinkled or cracked. That's what I heard. Ya...as far as I am concerned, it does not matter as long as it tastes good.
ReplyDeleteHey Arthur, I didn't know that...I will try that trick next time :) Thank you.
DeleteAnnie , another grin-worthy post :D Those cakes look pretty delicious , cracks and all ! I just love that miniature dining table , it is so adorable !
ReplyDeleteAnne, one thing I'm quite good at, is to make craky cakes :P... thats why I have to learn a lot from you..from your blog post...Hmmm, there is always hope:)
ReplyDeleteSo long you enjoy the process, and gain from failed experiences , I bet one day you can better bakes !
ReplyDeleteThank you Sonia:) I do appreciate your encouragement! Yeah...maybe oneday I will be as good as you are:)
DeleteHi Anne, your cake look good to me. The crack doesn't matter as long as it's delicious and your family enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThere are several reasons why the cake cracks, too much flour, oven too hot, cake pan too close to top of oven, over mixed, not enough liquid, etc...Practice make perfect, you will be able to bake a beautiful cake one day..... I too learn from trial and error..beginning lots donated to the bin too. :)
Your girl is good, very nice bake. Keep up the good job.
Love the mini dining table, cute.
Have a nice week ahead,regards.
Thank you Amelia:) I don't know how many more crack cakes I will have to come up with before perefection arrives..but we make it sure that we have to eat the naughty cakes instead of setting them free to the bin :P BTW, we did cleaned/dusted up the wee dining table afterwards :O
DeleteYou have a nice week too:)
