Our daughter Priya has been obsessed lately with the “Little House on the Prairie” book series. She just reads and reads and reads…it’s a beautiful thing to see as a parent. She asked us if she could invite a couple friends over on Valentine’s Day to make the “heart-shaped cakes” that were made in those books. It just so happens that I bought her the cookbook of the “Little House” recipes, so we knew exactly how to make them, and they are super easy. We are not big Valentine’s people, but this was something fun to do. :)
The friends arrived, and we got the book out to look over the recipe and then we passed out aprons. Riah was feeling a little overwhelmed by girls.
We got all the utensils needed and all of our ingredients. Do you see Gabe’s head? He climbed up on the chair to get in on “the mix.” ;)
Cake making is so, so serious.
Pretty girl.
How many hands can you fit in a little bowl??!! I also find it funny that one of our photos made it into this photo!! HA!
Gabe was booted out.
Riah is shaving off some fresh nutmeg.
My pal Becky was their with her two girls. Little Addy is friends with little Gabe. :) Isn’t she beautiful?
Getting down to business, rolling out the dough.
Then we baked them, and as they were coming out of the oven, sprinkled a bit of sugar on them. They were more like little scones, but GOOD as could be!
And they went pretty darn fast.
Not enough sweets??? Well, remember the box of chocolates I mentioned in the last post that my Mom + Dad sent me? Oh yeah, that is just the top layer.
hmmm…..can you guess my favorite??? :)
I’m scared. I might eat the entire box…….like, this week. Help please?!!
