We made the cake earlier in the week, so we only had to decorate today. I had every intention of letting the kids help decorate, especially by choosing and placing the cargo in the train cars, but when Michael found the green food coloring and it was all over the counter and his hands in a matter of seconds, I opted to let them watch a movie. It took me exactly 73 minutes to finish decorating (or however long "Curious George" is).
I know they would have enjoyed it more if they had helped more, but regardless, they still lit up with big eyes when they saw the bright cake. Michael was so excited to choose his train car, "Marshmallow!!" And Adelyn picked the car decorated like a present. My brother was eyeing the engine and finished lots more of it that I would have expected! It was a fun cake for me... hopefully Michael too... but at least me.
