In The Kitchen With Grandma #2

-
I know I said that this next post would be about cake decorating tips, however about two weeks ago or so my three little sisters had a cake decorating lesson with Grandma, so the cake decorating tip post will have to wait until another day.

                                                         

Grandma was helping the girls put wax paper in the pans so that the cakes would not stick.

One of the baking mixes and some oil.

I think Jennella was telling Carrie how to grease the pans.

Carrie is greasing her pan.

Marykaytelyn is mixing up her cake.

Some of the cakes are ready to go into the oven.

Jennella is making her cake.

Carrie is reading the directions on her cake mix box. I know that that's not what it looks like, but she closed her eyes just as the picture was taken.

Take pine cones and dip them in white and blue wax, set them in a wooden bowl and a drop or so of peppermint essential oil, or any other essential oil that you like the smell of just be careful how much you use. You can also dip them in wax and place them in different places around the house. Make paper dreidels and hang them about the house or set them on window sills or were ever you want. Use white, blue, and silver ribbon and string next to paper dreidels. You know tho...
