Bake Off
Katie had Emily and Nicki sleep over last night. They decided to do a "bake off", as they had done at Emily's one night. Nicki was partnered with Keera, a little bit of a hindrance, yet she still managed to win.
Each set of partners began a timed baking of cakes. Connor was the judge. His decision was apparently based on time, appearance, taste and presentation. (Sound a bit like the cake show on TV these days??)
I decided not to watch because I knew my kitchen was undergoing a change that I did not want to be a part of. I made the stipulation that they would clean up...of course their perception of cleaning up and my perception of cleaning up are slightly skewed, so to speak.
The cakes were pretty cool, I have to admit. And the outcome is how I would expect...Nicki won (Connor being the judge, I truly felt that Katie didn't have a chance in Hades of winning. Those two are way too competetive with each other to hand over a victory to the other.
The kitchen was an unbelievable mess, despite the fact that it had been "cleaned"; however, the fun they had was well worth the time I spent going back over their cleaning. I am sure I had such experiences with my friends when we stayed over each other's houses, but I tend to remember those sleepovers as, sleeping in the basement, staying out of parent's way and definitely NOT making a mess in the kitchen. I am glad things are the way they are here.....wouldn't want it any other way.
