I have several nieces and nephews, but there's only one school-aged niece in the family. Kaitie's still a tween, and she still thinks I'm sorta cool. The bad news is that her family lives in Oregon so I don't get to see them a lot. But when I do, she always wants to see her Auntie Jen and make cakes! So for Christmas, I put together a cake decorating kit with some basic tools, some fondant, some cutters and other stuff and I sent it to her. She was very tickled with it, but then I get the following pictures in my Inbox this week and I was SO thrilled!

The finished product! Kaitie did excellent!! |
I enjoy passing down any cake wisdom I can, but it's especially fun when it's children (and family)! Have a great weekend!!
Awesome! A future apprentice!
