Mini Cakes

Cakes, cakes and more cakes! I baked "mini" cakes for each of our guests to frost at our cooking party. 6" rounds were the perfect size for individuals! One boxed cake mix makes three 6" cakes and the cook time was about 30 minutes. Teams of two would have been a good idea too.

After frosting & decorating, we lined up all the cakes for a contest. The birthday girl made up categories and the cakes were judged on "Best Creativity" "Most Colorful" and "Best Design". Candles went in the birthday girl's cake and each guest had a slice of their own cake and brought the rest home!

Kids Cooking Party idea

My daughter wants to have a "tween" cooking party this year! We love watching Top Chef together, so this is the perfect theme for her. I am excited to sew some simple aprons from these cute & colorful fabrics. There were so many fabrics to choose from, and we narrowed it down to these. With the fabrics as my inspiration, I am choosing the color scheme with plates and decorations to match.
