Chef Cole

Cole was invited to a birthday party for a little girl in his school class and it was held at Little Pastry Chefs which is a fun hands-on kitchen where the kids make the food. He was super excited to go to the party! Upon arrival the kids were greeted at the door and dressed in an apron and real chef's hat and since Cole is into dress-ups right now he was pretty impressed.
Up first on the menu was pizza. The kids all got a ball of dough and were instructed on how to flatten it out into a circle. Next came the sauce and toppings (Cole made his plain cheese). Then into the oven they went.





Cole told me it was the best pizza he ever ate. Maybe the trick to getting Cole to eat is to let him make his own food. I'll have to try that theory out one of these days.

Up next on the menu was cake! The kids each got a small cake to decorate. First they practiced using the icing in pastry bags on wax paper and then they got to decorate for real.



Notice that big glob of yellow icing on his fingers. Yep, it went straight into his mouth. Yum!


Lookin' good!

Adding the finishing touches.

Cole's completed garden cake complete with dirt and worms. Mmmm.
He was excited to take the cake home and share it with his cousins.

Of course Carson got to go also but he was too little to make a pizza or a cake. But he kept himself busy trying to catch balloons and climbing on all of the baker's racks. We were lucky to get out of there with only 1 bloody nose.
