Yes, I'm back in the kitchen NOT baking cookies. This time, I was baking for a great cause: a Bachlorette Party. To celebrate the bride, my girlfriends and I headed out to see Mamma Mia at a great outdoor venue that allowed us to pack our own picnic. And of course, where there is a bride-to-be, there must be manly paraphernalia. And when the groom-to-be's name is Tony, Anthony Wiener jokes must rule the day. And that they did.
I'm not sure it's 100% kosher to bake a wiener cake with your 22-month old son, but I did it anyway. He had a great time, as one of his favorite things to do it stir. And (have I mentioned this before?) his stirring skills are so inefficient that one must not worry about overmixing the flour. It's win-win (win) really.

Now, I'm not a HORRIBLE parent in that I waited until HUG was at school to do the decorating. I think that day, his maturity may have been a little bit higher than mine, as I giggled my way through the whole thing and sent pictures of each stage to my sister. So....it's not normal to have skin colored icing on hand at any time? And strategically placed black sprinkles are not on your "obviously...." list? Well, shame on you. You "obviously" need to get yourself a few feisty friends and a wiener cake mold and go crazy.
So without further ado, may I present
