That's not how the saying normally goes, but in this case it does!
So its a school night and Dylan comes and tells me that he has a project due the next day. No problem right? Considering I have craft supplies galore, we could make something up quick. But wait.....this project had to be edible! Hold up! Its 8pm, and we have to make a project thats edible. Oh the joys of being a parent to a 5th grader!
We decide that all we have to make up quick is a cake. Had to be edible, State Fair theme and Dylan had to do it all on his own!
So....off he went! Mixed up his cake, made his buttercream, fondant and decorations! He did it all on his own, and did it better than I could have! I offered tips, but he had it in his head what he wanted this cake to look like. I found my place in the kitchen real fast.....sitting back and just watching.
His cake was a Picnic Table with a Blue Ribbon on it. Turned out AWESOME!! I was so proud that hes watched me enough to know what to do, and how he wanted to do it!
He took it to school the next day, and everyone goo-goo'd and gaw-gaw'd over it. He even got his pic in the 5th grade cookbook!!
Dylan never ceases to amaze us! We are so blessed and proud!!
Great Job Dylan!! I may have to hire this boy someday!!
