Cakes, bakes, cooks, mess, happy smiles!

Wahooooo i have stuck to my word, and got a bit carried away with the whole baking and cooking thing.... i haven't mastered anything too challenging but change is enough for moi! So on Monday i made chilli, it didn't look so great, but tasted gooooood.... and wow i was soooo impressed that cheeky loved it and ate a huge bowl with rice. Last night i completely cheated, but it was something new for cheeky to try.... i made sweet and sour chicken, i added my own veg but i did use a Jar of sauce...i thought it was lovely... cheeky on the other hand didn't :(.... i am going to try him with it again though because shortly before we had a biting incident, where the little monkey bit my leg. I was cooking and he came up behind me and bit me, i jumped so much that i ended up stabbing myself with the fork i was holding... ouch, i don't know what hurt more... its laughable now,  but at the time i was pretty cross with cheeky and he had a session on the naughty step. So i am thinking he wouldn't have eaten anything. Woke in a super organised mood this morning, cheeky and i have baked little buns. It was so so great baking with cheeky, he loved it, although note to self, write the ingredients on paper and don't take the laptop into the kitchen! Cheeky helped to measure and mix, and flicked flour and sugar everywhere :-s....ha ha, it was so fun though. When pouring the cake mix into the cases, all i could hear was "wooow wow wow wooooow"... from cheeky! "Cake, its cake, cake taste cake mummy!" Cheeky very responsibly reminded me that the oven was hot and to be careful when putting the cakes in the oven. He then sat and watched them cooking, saying more "wow, cake, its cake!". Unfortunately i made the exact same mistake with the icing as last time, we just used icing sugar and water, and i added way to much water, but luckily i had more icing sugar to add to it so it was OK. I gave cheeky two of his very own to decorate, literally letting him do what he wanted with the icing and hundreds and thousands. Well obviously given he is a toddler after all, most of it just went straight into his mouth. We decorated the rest of the cakes together, and whilst they are not perfect, i still took a photo and am proud of Cheeky :)). A couple of cakes will be coming with us later on our 'playdate' he he! Shepherds pie is cooked and in the fridge just ready to pop in the oven when we get home later! Yay i like it! Have a great day!
