Little Rainbow Cake

Filed Under: Gift Ideas, Kids Crafts, Kids in the Kitchen, St. Patrick's Day

 Aaron made this sweet little cake for his preschool teacher’s birthday. I wanted something that he could do on his own.  He helped bake it (even cracked the eggs on his own!) and then got to work decorating it.

 Just skittles and mini marshmallows. He was so very proud of his cake and his teacher was thrilled to receive it. She shared a little piece with each member of the class and even took a picture of the cake and is using it as her facebook profile picture 🙂

 A fun, cheerful, and simple cake. I’ll have to come up with some more little cakes like these for the kids to make this summer. He had so much fun.

    What an awesome teacher he had! I think he did a better job on that cake than most adults 🙂

    If you get a chance, I’d love for you to link this up to my Not “Baaad” blog hop (up now). There’s a weekly award for the best post!

    Oye, that is the sweetest little cake ever. I adore rainbows. Oh, and the blue frosting – it is so pretty, and perfect to look like a sunny blue sky. 🙂 Great job Brandy & Aaron! I’m sure his teacher will remember that for years to come.
