The chocolate cake was a huge success. Very easy for an almost 5 year-old and an almost 3 year-old to help make. They were very proud of their creations and took a lot of ownership.
I think they were very happy to make cakes that we could share, too. We grown-ups could appreciate their skill in the kitchen. Even their imperfect mixing turned out OK.
Probably the reason that baby sister (6 mos) screamed when she had to go to bed was that she hadn't had her share of the cake and ice cream. So, Grammy distracted her with a few turns around the garage in the stroller - a good plan. And I could enjoy the sound of wind whipping through the tree branches as I wheeled around in the dark. Maybe next time she'll be old enough for some cake, too.
