We've always been told "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" right? Well I had such a lemonade moment yesterday. Evan (my 2 yr old) in his infinite wisdom decided to take all of the hard work that I had done yesterday making a book cake for Ian's school get together and sprinkle salt all over it. And when I say sprinkle I really mean that he took the entire 1lb container of salt and "made tracks" for his trains to run through. The only problem with that is that my cooling uniced cake was in the path for his tracks.
When I saw that I flipped out. That child was about 30 seconds away from being shipped off to military school. (except that they wouldnt' take him, he's too young) But then I remembered one of my mom friends made cake pops for her childs birthday. At the time I said that I'd have to try to make those. Now was the perfect time to try that. Since the first step is bake a cake and then crumble it up. So after I hacked off the salty bits and the rest of the cake was already in mostly crumbles... I proceeded to look up the rest of the instructions. It's better than throwing out an entire cake, right? Not everything came together smoothly. But it did come together. And my son loves the ones off of the stick just as much as on the stick.
