When your 6 year old can tell you're tired and says "Mom, go ahead and rest today.  I'm taking over the cakes and cupcakes today."  Even cuter when he sits down and starts sketching out the designs.

 

Or,... when he's watching a clay animation movie, and tells all his friends that "It's just fondant.  My mom can do that."   

 

Or,... when he decorates my extra cupcakes and makes his Dad take them to work to sell.  We'll never tell him the $6 came from Dad's own wallet.  In his mind, he's in business!

AIf anytime a timer goes off in the house, my two year old comes running, "cuh-cakes! cuh-cakes!" and then the 4 year old says, "they're not for US, Natalie!"

hahaha on the "not for us"!! I usually try to make them a few cupcakes out of my frozen batter stash just to keep them from stalking client cakes!

AIf your 6 year old has already picked outnher wedding cake design: "6 tier red velvet cake filled with chocolate ganache, with white fondant and royal icing buttercream stencil design, and a cascade of gumpaste calla lilies." I've saved this request, amd when she gets married, I'm telling her, "this is what you're getting!"

So true, and these kids are picky. They are going through every cake book and magazine I have looking for cakes they want. My four-year old is also a cakecentral junkie, he can type it into google by himself and he types in "cake" +  choose a descriptor in google images.

AOk, my baby is precious (aren't they all). At least 3 times a day, he'll go stand in front of the cake fridge & say "cake" with the cutest please sound. Of course he gets it! Sometimes, he'll point at the piping bag & say "rosting?" He doesn't usually get that.

But that not the cutest. Sometimes when I'm cutting cake he'll ask & ill say "sorry it's for a client." Yesterday someone came to pick up a cake. DH was at work so it was just us. He was all kinda of hamming it up & flirting ....until...when I gave her the cake from the fridge, lil Jacobs face fell. He started pouting. He pointed & said "cake." I said "it's for the client" & he started crying. She tried to comfort him & he pushed her away.

Maybe you had to be there, but it was absolutely precious!

When a younger sister that last year got a 3d carved pirate ship is complaining that she gets a less carved slightly smaller much less involved castle cake because I started a business this summer and was busier. She also at one point wanted a cake centering around Multiple sculpted fondant deer.icon_lol.gif

By the time YOUR birthday rolls around, your mom so sick of cake (or planning and prepping for your party), you are lucky to get cupcakes.  Or even worse, she goes to DQ and gets an icecream cake!

My boyfriend is the same! He doesn't even complain that I never use things for their intended purpose! In fact, if I'm stumped on a design he'll think it over then suggest something from the garage (yes we go get a new one if it's determined it can work) or his toolbox.

While my grandson (age 3) and I were making some pink tiaras to put on some Sweet 16 cookies, my husband asks, "How many are there?" My grandson replies, "One, two, three, four"  Husband asks, "What about all of these?" Reply, "One, two, three, four". Husband, "Can you count to ten?" Grandson, "Nope" Husband, "Want to learn?" Grandson, "Nope" Husband, "Gavin (his grandson) can count to one thousand!" My grandson, "Can he make sparkly pink tiaras?"
