Miss E wanted to experiment, making her very own recipe for a white chocolate cake. She came shopping with me yesterday to buy the right white chocolate, she wrote out her list of ingredients and set to work early this morning with only a little supervision. She was determined to make it her way, guessing quantities as she went! Enough for two tins. Thankfully they were edible and served with great love.
You are good to let her experiment! I tend to try to tell my kids why their 'recipe' won't work based on their ingredient list and fuss at them for going after things willy nilly and uninformed, rather then letting them waste a few ingredients and make a mess (!!) and perhaps figure it out on their on why it didn't work
Finally got the chance to look at this! I love it! The E Cake looks delicious!! I love the table, covered with books and surrounded by students, too! (David Macauley was always a favorite of ours too. :)
Your Miss E growing up so quickly - it is lovely that she wanted to make you all a chocolate cake, especially one made and served with love
ReplyDeleteGood on her independence streak.
ReplyDeleteIndependent learning at its best and what an outcome. Sharing it with everyone.
ReplyDeleteQue lindo e tudo com amor é melhor! bjs, chica
ReplyDeleteWow, that is really neat! I'm glad it turned out edible and that it was enjoyed by all.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful bit of experience under her belt.
Way to go Miss E. May this only be the beginning.

Thanis Lorraine. The second cake (the love heart one) was happily served tonight with jam and cream on top - it tasted even better!

ReplyDeleteYour children are quite the bakers! Very creative to do a white chocolate - I'd be fooled by its vanilla appearance and then delighted by its taste.
ReplyDeleteHave tears in my eyes .... Miss E is so lovely!
