Cake and cookies with Chef Sara

playing with the sugar cookie dough

I had to unstick her after she was finished mixing

The final product: ginger cookies, sugar cookies, and cake!

My favorite treat (of the ones we made)

Originally, we were going to make our own frosting but when I went to the Creamery they were all out of powdered sugar so we made do with a container of ready-made frosting (cream cheese kind). It was SO good! We frosted everything with it. It was particularly good on the ginger cookies (which were Jill's favorite). It was great to have so many yummy treats around the apartment for a week or so. After the cake came out of the oven and we frosted it, I called K.T. to come over (it was her birthday last Friday) and we sang "Happy Birthday" and ate cake while we watched part of our 6th grade DVD and played Uno. Great stuff.

There's still some of the frosting left that I hid in one of my cupboards in the kitchen (shh, don't tell). There's so little left I was afraid somebody would throw out the can before I was done with it so I took it and hid it. I haven't finished it yet.
