Friday was Heidi (our dog) birthday. She turned 7 years old!! We adopted her when she was 8 months old and feel so lucky that she is a part of our family. This year ryan really wanted to make her a cake.
So as soon as he woke up he started. What I found is that baking a cake is so much more than just a cake....
It was made up of many lessons.
1. Research - he had to find a good a gluten free and vegan cake recipe (it had to be vegan cause we were out of eggs!)
2. Cooperation and patience - learning to work with his siblings who also want to help and having patience with them
3. Math - we only had enough gluten free flour blend for half of the recipe so he had to half everything! each one we we had to work it out
4. reading and following directions - this means slowing down and reading exactly what is in the recipe! Trust me this is a big lesson for Ryan. He started off trying to make this cake by just dumping in the four blend without measuring it : )
5. Self confidence - being proud of what he accomplished !
Heidi loved it and the cake really was the best chocolate cake I think I have ever eaten. So moist and yummy!
Happy Birthday Sweet Heidi!!
