Rainy Day Activity
>> Monday, January 4, 2010
What do you get when you cross a brand new "Cakelet" cake pan from Williams Sonoma, and a Cookie and Cupcake Decorating set from Kuhn Rikon with an entire day spent inside because of rain?

Well obviously, you get 4 super happy and super SUGAR energized kids!
The cake pan was a Christmas gift, and I used spray Pam with flour to ensure my box-of-cake mix didn't stick. One box would have made a pan's worth (6 cakelets) plus at least one single cake (had I not thrown out the rest of the batter). The spray Pam with flour is a DREAM and made those cakes just glide out of the pan.
For frosting, I made a double batch of royal icing - and separated it into 4 smaller batches to color with neon food coloring. I am still trying to figure out the "trick" to getting the icing into the little squeeze bottles - let me know if you have any tips for me - it is just plain messy getting them filled.
And lastly, have the vacuum cleaner nearby and plugged in, those sprinkles get everywhere!

your little squeezy frosters look perfect for tiny hands. great find!
I know it seems like a little more work, but when I use those I take a ziploc bag or any plastic clear bag, normally I use icing bags. Fill the bag with the icing, snip a corner off and wedge the bag into the opening of the icing squeezers and squeeze the icing out into the container. That way when the containers get a little empty you have the bag waiting there to refill it again.
