Baking With My Kiddos

My girlchild had a project to do for school, so we decided to go for a confectionary treat!

She had to make an edible cell of some sort, a plant or animal. She chose plant. 

This is how it came out. Not the prettiest, but we had a great time bonding and making this. 

Without the diagram, can you pick out what each candy is supposed to represent, science people? 

No word on a grade yet, but I'll post as soon as I find out!

Since girlchild and I were cooking, boychild wanted in on the action. We made a cosmic cake!

You can see my loved to hell pan. 

We were adding the blue food coloring to the white mix and he noticed how cool it looked when it swirled, so after we dumped it into the pan I told him to add more food coloring and made the swirlies with a whisk. I wish I would have gotten a picture when it was finished. It was cool as all get out!

For a good evening, we all had blue mouths. 

And then he sugar crashed on the floor. Thank god he's still tiny and easy to move!

There is nothing more in this world that I love than spending time in the kitchen with my kiddos. I had a problem standing up and making it through the whole thing, but we did it and had excellent yummy results.
