Fun With Cake

I've been wanting to make a tie-dyed cake for awhile now, and I finally have a reason!  It's really pretty easy.  Whip up some white cake and divide it into a few bowls.

I forgot a step, make sure your wee-one has an acorn squash to play with...

Then I added different colors to each bowl.  Turns out you need A LOT for each.  Like, 10+ drops.

Now- you just add it to the pan (or, in my case, bowl), alternating colors.  Some people swirl.  I didn't this time.

Uh-oh, the acorn squash has lost it's appeal.  Peek-a-boo!

 

Next, into the oven!  Mine took about an hour.  It was the longest hour, I think I was just too excited to see what would happen!

When it was done, it was beautiful!  I cut the top so that it would sit flat (and didn't take a pic) and the insides were so vibrant!  This is definitely a keeper.  Too much fun :)

I also whipped up some baby food.  New food adventures include: beets and kiwi.  Shortly after this picture was taken, all of these lovely little bits took a turn in the food processor.

Lastly- I discovered a new way to de-seed a cantaloupe!   I used my 1/3 cup scoop to quickly and efficiently get 'er done!!  Look how lovely perfect...
