When you are making a Red Velvet Cake...
Rule #1: Do not let your kids help with the food coloring.
Rule #2: Do not wear a white shirt.
Rule #3: Make sure you have enough ingredients to double the frosting recipe (your kids end up eating the first batch)
Rule #4: You, and only you DESERVE the first bite after all that work.
Rule #5: Did I mention not to let your kids ANYWHERE NEAR the food coloring?
Ethan loves cakes....he literally asks at least once a week, "Mom, can we make a cake today?" (I blame it all on the Food Network chanel). So today, after relentless pleading, I gave in and we made an "Ethan cake"...aka Red Velvet Cake. Ethan made sure that he was by my side helping (and sampling) every step of the way. Here's a few pictures from our baking adventure this afternoon...and our final creation.
Who doesn't love to do a little sampling along the way? With my back turned Ethan went straight for the blue food coloring (Rob would be proud to know) and headed for the batter. Luckily I caught him in time or we would have had Purple Velvet Cake.
The end result was beautiful, if I don't mind saying so myself...but not enough to keep us from devouring it within seconds.
