Baking buddies

This morning our friend Tessa came over while her sister and Mom took a class, so we held a class of our own: Bake Your Very Own Pumpkin Cake. Preparing our hands and other surfaces, reading, counting, measuring, smelling, stirring, tasting, touching, spilling, sweeping, using a Kitchen Aid mixer, cracking eggs, and cleaning up-- we (they) did a lot of work!

It took us awhile, too, but judging from the scent in the kitchen right now, the end result should be well worth it. Now we're whiling away our time with Play-Doh as we dream of dessert.
