She's got talent and lives to tell about it!

In Achievement Days, Alexis has been learning about cake decorating. Tonight for their activity they were decorating their own cake. Last night she made the cake (with a little help from mom) and today I frosted it following her very precise instructions. She took the plain pink frosted cake to church and came home with a masterpiece. What a great job she did - she definitely has some natural artistic talent going on here!
Alexis insisted on putting this flag (that she got off a Memorial Day cake) on her own cake

Cutting the cake
Yum - it tastes as good as it looks
What we don't have pictures of (and you will appreciate that we don't) is the bloody nose and coordinating bump on her forehead and cheek that Alexis got just before leaving the church. As she was running across the gym, the poor thing tripped and hit her head on a table as she went down and smashed her nose and mouth into the floor. Thankfully, she is okay and a hot shower and piece of cake seemed to be the ultimate fix.

That is an amazing cake! I have done it and I can't believe that you have such strong hands at such a young age! Keep it up and you will have very grateful children n the future!!

Wow! Grandma is impressed! You did a very good job - the cake is pretty and sounds like it was pretty good too. I don't like hearing that you got hurt - so I am glad you are OK! Love you lots!
