Bakers extraordinaire

Grandma Linda gave Cameron a holiday cake baking set for Christmas, and it sounded like the perfect project on a cold, snowy morning.
Here, Cameron stirs.
When the cakes were put in the oven, Cameron was so exhilarated that he asked me to turn on the oven light. He sat like this, watching the cakes bake, for about eight minutes! For a 4-year-old, this is equivalent to 2 days. Now, anyone can bake a cake. Heck, if that was all we wanted to do, we could have bought a Betty Crocker mix. But does Betty's mix come with PAINTBRUSHES?!?!? That's right folks, we got to paint a design on the cake! Cameron is quite an artist, as I think has been documented in many posts. He took this commissioned work every bit as seriously as he has his previous endeavors.
And did that work every pay off! Check out Cameron's tree!
Here, Cameron shows the cake I decorated. He plans to take it to Chloe's house tomorrow. (Dena, if you read my blog: Surprise! We're bringing cake tomorrow!)
