More from Wednesday

After I posted my blog on Wednesday night I did a little more baking.  I used a gluten free cake mix to make a festive Thanksgiving cake for the kids.  As I was mixing the batter I realized that the pan I had (glass 9x13 casserole dish) was way too big because the recipe recommended a 9 inch square cake tin.  I had to make an emergency phone call to the baking expert in my family, Aunt Julie.  Luckily she knew what to do and she advised me to lower the temperature of the oven and cook it for a shorter amount of time.  She also suggested that I cut the long, thin cake in half and then make it into a layer cake.  So far, it looks great.  The crumbs I tasted were pretty moist too.  I tried to make little turkeys on the cake but they aren’t my best creation.  More later!  

Ooops, making a mess with the frosting.

Look Mom, I really do wash dishes!

Those orange things are supposed to be turkey feathers and the brown things are supposed to be the heads. They look a little funny.
