Andrew has been obsessed with the book "
Bunny Cakes" by Rosemary Wells for the past three weeks. By obsessed, I mean that we read it at least twice a day - sometimes twice in one sitting. It is a Max & Ruby book where Ruby wants to make a Angel Surprise Cake with Raspberry Fluff Icing for Grandma's birthday, but Max keeps knocking over the ingredients. He really wants Red Hot Marshmallow Squirters for his Earthworm Birthday Cake that he is making for Grandma's Birthday.
Each time we finish the book, Andrew points to Ruby's cake and says "I want that one." He points to Max's cake and says "That's yucky." So, today we made a Angel Surprise Cake with Raspberry Fluff Icing.
As an aside...I forgot to sift the powdered sugar before mixing it, so our icing was a bit lumpy. Scott called it "Raspberry Crunch Icing". Nothing like an almost 5 year old to point out all the flaws!

Mmm...makes me hungry for Bunny Cake! Maybe I can encourage Andrew to give the earthworm cake a try.
: ) Maybe this spring, the Storytime craft can be going outside to dig up dirt and earthworms for a cake! Wouldn't all the moms love it? : )
Thanks for sharing - the cake looks awesome!
