Can I Lick the Beaters?

Hannah and I made a cake together on Thursday. The kids' school had a fall carnival last night and needed donations for a cake walk. I usually just go with brownies and always have a mix on hand, but I thought I would put forth a little extra effort. We made Pumpkin Pound Cake with Maple Walnut Sauce. I found it here. Hannah made one for school and I made one for the family.



I guess the pan was a bit full so there is a "bump" at the bottom. This was the one for the family and we were happy with it.



It was a fun activity to do with Hannah.



She especially enjoyed licking both beaters.

I really need to do stuff like that more often...

I love that look on Hannah's face as she gives the beater her full attention!

Just so you know, Tim and I saw that cake and both said, "Whoa." Who cares if there's a little bump? It looks delicious! And even better knowing that you had some quality bonding time making the cake. :)
