| Beanstalk Stump Cake |
Our school has a fair every October, but because we just joined the school last January we have never been to the feté. One of the requirement for every class is to bake a cake for the cake walk. There is also a friendly competition for the snazziest cake, so naturally I wanted to enter. I immediately started thinking of something to make and as usual my mind was blank. I usually don't have a clue what I will make but I got lucky here. Our class booth is the "sleeping giant," you know the Jack and the Bean Stalk story. I figured I'd make a beanstalk themed cake, the ax was an afterthought but my favorite part!!
My eight year old wanted to make a cake too she went with the draw bridge theme, I love her cake! She made a sitting night at rest with his helmet off hanging out by the river.
We worked, mostly in silence sharing tools, ideas for hours.
What a treat to be able to sit with my daughter and craft something that we are both totally absorbed in. Who knows if either of our cakes will win a prize but I know someone lucky cake walk winner will be taking them home for sure!
