Valentine's Cake

This weekend we went to the local grocery store for another cake decorating event.  It has been good practice for Campbelle's decorating abilities and even better practice for me in refraining myself from 'fixing' some of the frosting issues I see.  Maybe it's the compulsive side of me, or some type of perfectionist quality thing I have going on - but it takes nearly every bit of strength to not help her fix the big lumps and get the cake evenly smoothed. 

In the end, she frosted and decorated it entirely herself.  And even though I had to 'bit my lip' a bit - I was glad I did when I saw her expression when she was all finished.   A masterpiece indeed.

 

It tasted like a masterpiece as well.... plate licking going on and everything.  And truth be told, my serving happen to come from the place that had an extra big lump of frosting on it - and I certainly didn't complain!!
