Our Grandchildren were visiting last week. I wanted to do something different for their party. This was the highlight of the party (the children attending were 2, 3, 5, 6 and 12 years old).
I made a plain yellow cake mix in a 9X13 inch pan. When it came time for cake, I had the children sit in a circle in the kitchen floor. Next, I cut each child a generous piece of cake.
I placed several cups of different kinds of frosting, candy and "sprinkles" and those sugar Happy Birthday-numbers and letters. Then I told the children to decorate their cake. They loved doing this and had a wonderful time. We were surprised at how wonderful each child's "decorated cake" turned out.
This was the hit of the party, even the 2 year old decorated her cake. Some of the frosting was lopped-sided but each cake was so very special. One of the little girls wouldn't eat her cake and insisted on taking it home so that she could go to her grandparents house and show and share her cake with them.
Why didn't I think of this when our children were growing up! If you try this I'm sure it will be as big of a hit at your house as it was with ours. So happy birthday all, enjoy your cake!
