and his cake! :-)
For weeks, Jay had planned to surprise daddy and his siblings with a heart shaped cake for Valentine's day. His plans were foiled when we ended up having a GI virus run through the house and he spent Valentine's day in bed. A few days ago, he finally was able to make the cake and I surprised him by letting him put on sprinkles. (something they only get to eat once or twice a year)
I LOVED his cake (despite the fact that I goofed and forgot to put sugar in the icing for him, so it was a bit, um, cream cheesy with no sugar).
More than the cake, I am proud of my boy. He handled his delayed plans/disappointment very well. Not only once because of the tummy bug, but a few days later when I just couldn't fit it in the schedule to help him, it was delayed again.
What's better still?
My icing goof had potential to send him over the edge at the very end of a long, difficult day (it was almost 10PM when we finally made the cake). Instead, he was able to pull it together and find a solution: just sprinkle a bit of sugar on top of the cake. It wasn't quite the same, but it worked.
Funniest thing? Park doesn't usually like icing, he almost always chooses to eat his cake plain, this time, he loved the icing. Go figure!?
Great job flexing, Jerald. Cake looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think I'd agree with Parker. I rarely like icing--it is usually way too sweet, but I love barely or unsweetened cream cheese icing.
ReplyDeleteI love Jay's willingness to wait and serve in God's time.
this is great!! :-D
