Happy Hurricane!

Kiddo had the day off from school, so we practiced in the kitchen today. He’s 3 so this was still mostly me, but I’m happy to have had an excuse to try baking with him. Triple chocolate fudge cake w/ funfetti layer frosting & vanilla frosting (mix & canned frosting - see aforementioned toddler). Note that we are in central FL and we’re fortunately we’ll out of the way of the storm. My heart is with all my neighbors in the direct path.
