My #friendsday post is for @denissemata because she asked to see the baking that my 12 year old granddaughter did yesterday. She made a birthday cake from scratch for her dad and brother and it was delicious!
And then she decorated a gingerbread train!
Today we had Christmas!
It has been a great weekend!
Happy New Year to all! I think 2019 is going to be a great year for all of us!

This cake look so good and delicious! The train is so beautiful😊😍
She was very proud of the fact that it was the tallest cake she had ever made. She made a seven-minute frosting and put whipped cream between the layers. It was the first time she had made that frosting and it was a bit of a challenge for her. But it is my favorite so I will be happy to have her try it again! Her brother helped her with the train and assembled it and just left the decorating to her. They had fun creating it.
I know how that feels, she did a wonderful job the cake looks delicious. I know he will keep making delicious cakes
She was very proud of it. It really is quite delicious.
I wish I was close to you, it would be great to make a cake with her 😊
You could teach her so many things!
It would be great to teach her everything that I know 😊
i was going for the cake BUT Mclaren wins -alwasy ;)

Obviously they will agree with you! They are both big F1 fans and got the shirts as birthday gifts.
Woohoo i hear them eniges purring;)
I do preafer the sitting inside A car, rather then watching thow lol😜😂😁
Go fast cars do get the adrenaline pumping! I like that, too!
That looks too good, I just felt hungry looking at the cake :D
That cake looks delicious! Is that chocolate and vanilla layers stacked? Yum!
It is chóc.and van. It is really good and after everyone left for home there is still one piece left for me!
Howdy today Melinda! wow that kid is a budding food artist and that cake looked incredible!
I do enjoy having her hang out in my kitchen! Everyone has left for home and I'm starting to get things back in place and back to normal around here!
I bet that was so much fun! Did everything go as well as planned? It was strange not having you here yesterday, I missed talking to you but I was so glad for you too!
Wow, I hardly had a moment to myself all weekend! Just when I would sit down to make a few comments someone would say Grandma where is this or hey Mom would you help me with that! And I was so tired from all the activities of the day that I had difficulty staying up very late at night. I did make it till midnight on New Year's Eve, but so did everyone else! Now things can begin to get back to normal. What a wonderful time I had.
yay! I'm so glad to hear that Melinda. Well I bet you got up real early so no wonder it was hard for you to stay up. I bet most of us didn't stay up late last night, bunch of wimps!
Howdy today Melinda! wow that kid is a budding food artist and that cake looked incredible!
Wow...so well done ! ^_^ And the gingerbread scene is too cute !
You are right my dear, it's gonna be a great and wonderful year !
2019 Hugs and wishes of great happiness !
Thanks so much! It is certainly going to be interesting to see what 2019 brings to all of us!
What a great looking cake.... YUM ! Love the gingerbread train too. You have your Christmas on New Year's Day?
Thanks! We have celebrated over New Year's weekend for many years now. My son's birthday is on December 30th and my grandsons is on January 6th so we get together on that weekend and have birthday parties, Christmas, and a New Year's celebration. It had simply gotten too difficult for everyone to be all the places that they needed to be for Christmas various grandparents wanted them and other moms and dads wanted them and I easily saw that it would be better for everyone if I took a step back and changed my traditions and had Christmas on New Year's. And now we all would not have it any other way. They were here for four days and I got to have them all to myself and we had a blast!
That sounds wonderful ! I'm glad you were able to work it out in such a happy way. I'm all for new traditions, when the old ones become hard to manage.
How did you spend your holidays?
My brother had a family party at his house on the 15th, so we could celebrate a good while without anyone being pushed to go somewhere else. :)..... then I met with various friends here and there and Christmas Eve (and the day before) I put on good Christmas music, wrapped presents, baked and cooked lots of Christmas goodies and Christmas Eve when all was done I watched Scrooge, the 1951 version with Allastair Sim (my fav version) while eating popcorn and having a toddy. :) Christmas morning I put the last bit of food together and went to my Mom's around noon where the family celebrated some more and opened presents. Later I thought I would step next door to my Uncle's house like I sometimes do on Christmas night, but one of my cousins had fallen and had a bad leg break a couple of days before (which I didn't know)..... and my Aunt's Uncle on her side had to go to assisted living and she takes care of her whole family..... so that happened close (and I didn't know that !) .....so they did not have their supper that night, which meant I was happily on my own to watch shows on my new firestick and eat leftover food and goodies from the lunch. It was ALL good. I did step over next door the following day for a while to give them some goodies and breakfast gift cards and had a nice visit with them all to myself. :)
Today one of my other cousins came by and gave me the most beautiful bright red cardinal yard stake made by a local artist/craftsman. It has it's wings spread like it is taking off. I think he uses paint like is on cars and "bakes" it at high temps so they do not fade immediately like lot of hard things you buy in the stores. I was thrilled to get it and cannot wait till spring. So... .it seems Christmas was still going on today !
That sounds absolutely delightful! My kids got me a new huge TCL Roku HDR TV and I can't wait to watch movies. My old TV was 10 years old and was having issues, so it had just become easier not to bother watching anyting . Do you love your Firestick?
Your granddaughter is so tallented. How delicious the cake looks, and how neat the decoration is!
Thanks! I really enjoy the fact that she likes to cook and takes it seriously.
Am I too late for a slice? I guess I am :) That gingerbread train as a fantastic idea, looks wonderful, the cake too. I didn't do gingerbread this year, there was no time for that but I can do it in January. Happy #friendsday Melinda!
There is one slice left and I was just thinking that it would go nicely with an afternoon cup of tea! So you will have to hurry!
The train was a joint effort between her and her brother. He assembled it and sanded down all the edges so that it would fit precisely and then glued it together with the frosting. She did the decorating and they were both quite proud of their effort.It was fun to watch them.
