A cake… made by them.

Let your LITTLE and RISING bakers make this Cake TODAY.

(Yes, really)

Not store bought.

Not perfect.

And definitely not quiet.

This is the kind of cake where:

  • Eggs might be dropped

  • Frosting gets ‘taste tested’ (a lot)

  • and someone forgets what step they’re on

But somehow… it turns out pretty great.

And more importantly - they made it - and they’re learning.

It takes about 40 minutes plus baking time.
