She says she is going to be a cake decorator when she grows up, and she really is good already. Her first cake she bakes came out perfect, with no leveling or trimming needed, it was amazing. icon_smile.gif Can you tell her Nanna is proud lol?

It's so awesome when kids do great things!! You must be a good teacher too. My grandma bought me an aluminum gingerbread man pan when I was about 12 and that started it all for me. Been decorating ever since. Funny thing is the only thing my grandmother knew how to make was reservations icon_lol.gif

Watch out Nanna! I see the "Cake" gleam in those big pretty eyes of your grand daughter. Looks like the cake bug has bitten her.........hehehe! If her beautiful roses are an indication of her skill, looks like you are going to have an apprentice on your hands. Must be in the genes! Happy baking to you both. icon_smile.gif

if she ever shows an interest in working with fondant...i highly recommend encouraging her to take any type of sculpting class. After my baby sister started watching me work with fondant, she started taking classes at the local youth community center and for her art class in middle school and high school...it helps ALOT! I am proud today to say she has quickly begun to surpass me in her skills

good luck to your little apprentice, she's showing true skills already!

Lots of talent there. She really did an awesome job on her roses. She must be a quick learner. It took me quite a while to come up with something that even resembled a rose.

actually you may be able to take one with her, check community centers and colleges in your area...i took one not to long ago and it was very affordable, i think like 40 bucks. sometimes the high schools even have after school classes for adults...i think its called adult education classes most of them you can do with her as something for you to do together. good luck to you.

What a wonderful way to spend time with your g'daughter! These are days you'll both remember...my great-aunt Merle was the best baker I've ever known. She was so inspiring to me. She's been gone for many years, but I think about her EVERY time I turn my oven on! What she taught me and passed on to me is priceless. You're doing the same for your precious g'daughter!
