The weekend before his birthday, I went to get Colin from Sunday school and he handed me a tub of frosting and a large (undecorated) cake wrapped in foil and sealed in a zipper bag. See, his Sunday school teacher does this for each kid. She makes two cakes and they eat one in class. The other cake comes home with the kiddo so they can have even more cake!
The first thing Colin asked to do (after church and lunch, of course) was decorate his very own cake. I showed him how to spread the frosting evenly across the cake.
For the most part though, Colin decorated the cake on his own. He did an awesome job!
Do your kids decorate their own birthday cakes?
Did you have fun in the “kitchen” this week? Did you try a new food or a new kid friendly restaurant? Did your little ones use their snacks to count to 10? We invite you to share your experiences, photos, stories or recipes that include your #kidsinthekitchen!

Making cakes and cupcakes together is one of my favorite activities with my kids! Thanks for reminding me of a perfect cold-weather (and tasty) activity for this weekend!
Somehow I think it tastes even better when you decorate it yourself. That’s so much fun!
He looks like he’s loving it! We let the kids decorate cakes for other people’s birthday, so I can’t believe it didn’t cross my mind to let them do their own.
How fun! My little guy loves to help bake things too 🙂
I love the idea of kids being in the kitchen!
What a sweet thing for his Sunday school teacher to do! I take care of birthday cakes 🙂 I feel that is my mommy privilege but the girls help with other baking, especially our Christmas yule log… they make the most adorable and detailed marzipan snowmen!
What fun! Yes, my son loves to decorate cakes/cupcakes and he loves to cook – at 12! Sounds like your boy will be great in the kitchen too!
Levi got to do a cupcake decorating class while we were on a cruise once and he absolutely loved it! I think you son did a wonderful job.
Looks like he had a lot of fun with his mommy decorating his cake. That’s really cool about the Sunday School teacher.
