Cake Decorating

I decided to let Jonathan decorate his own cake for the second party. I was really just trying to get out of making another "shaped" cake, like the airlplane. He wasn't really understanding that Ben's party was also for him too and I remembered seeing a Pioneer Woman episode where she said she always lets the kids decorate the cakes! And I thought that was genius! And it got him exited about the second party!! I just made a 9" round chocolate cake and my famous butter cream frosting! I bought some fun candies for the party any, so I just poured them in bowls and told him to have at it!

By the way, so many of you love my Butter Cream Frosting, here is the recipe! It's so funny, my mother taught me to make Butter Cream Frosting, but she was never one to use recipes. She was a "little of this, little of that...taste it...add more of something..." kind of baker/cook. I AM NOT! I need precise instructions! So after trying my hand at the little of this and that method to make her frosting, I got frustrated and went to the Internet searching! The funny thing is, a lot of frosting recipes require cooking on the stove top, but not this one. This is the exact ingredients and exact method that she used, just more precise! :) - Make it, you'll love it!
