Heehee! So I know that I am not one tenth of the caker that so very many talented CCers are, and I can only hope to one day learn to buttercream in a halfway decent fashion. But when I finished my little boy's Yoda cake for his Star Wars party this weekend (I'm making a Darth Vader and an Ewok as well), he looked at it and gasped, "Mommy, you're an AWESOME cake maker!", and I'll be darned if it didn't make me giddy for the rest of the afternoon! Just thought I'd share .

that's so sweet! one of the best things about cake decorating is when you get a positive reaction like that - especially from someone you really care about. congrats!

aren't kids great? My 4 year old daughter has all the cake lingo down pat, she talks about fondant, etc, it is so cute. Don't forget to post pics of the cake.

aaaaawwwww.....And that's what it's really all about! Congratulations to you!

Awwww that is the cutest ever. Last month I made a cake for my best friend's little girl who was turning 1. Well at the party, my dd and the other kids were sitting eating the cake, and my dd goes..you know my mommy made the cake, doesn't it taste so good. It was the funniest thing, cause I kept hearing it from her. That's my liittle Marketing diva.

That's so cute! Those compliments are way better than coming from a stranger who's paying you!

Your son is right! Your cakes are awesome!!

Love it. Kids are so honest.

My 5 year old is always telling me how great my cakes are. She loves to help and knows all the lingo and tips and tricks. Loves to do tastes tests (hates the wilton fondant, but likes SI and MFF). My favorite part is that whenever she plays with her playdoh, she always makes cakes. Even in the sand, she makes cakes. And of course in the bath she measures out the ingredients for her cakes. I will say her cakes usually have about 2 cups of "banilla" and only 1 cup of flour LOL!!! Kids are the best for boosting your cake confidence!

how cute! I wish my son, Fudge can say that.

Yeah, I definitely prefer baking for my own munchkins than for other people, much as I like to bake and decorate for others. And while I'm sure my son would have been perfectly happy with a (*gasp!!*) $15 cake from the local grocery store with some Star Wars figurines stuck in it, I get a naughty "happy-mommy" listening to him describe his sculpted 3D cake to his brother and sister (regardless of whether or not it turned out exactly like I wanted it ). Thanks for letting me share my happy moment, you guys are so much fun!

And yes, I'll definitely post the picture of our Yoda tomorrow .

You guys are so lucky. I'm living with a mini Kerry Vincent. Not only does she take inventory of all my flaws she makes sure she points them out to EVERYBODY! I'm willing to trade if there are any takers.

Okay, here are the pics of the Yoda cake! I also put up my other two Star Wars cakes for today's party ... I love making cakes for my babies! This has been a fun thread, thanks for posting your own little ones' responses to your creations as well!

Sorry! Forgot to post the link!
