It tastes like toothpaste

CU-3 made her first cake today. All by herself, with me supervising. She did a great job. Having to cross language frontiers (French- English) and read a recipe (the terminology confused her a bit), she did a great job. The cake is delicious.

The frosting was a bit of a voyage into the unknown. We didn't have icing sugar in order to make the regular butter cream frosting, so I went onto the web and found a three-ingredient, no-cook, corn syrup based frosting (marshmallow creme-ish) thing. It was great. Took the tint of green that CU-3 added just beautifully. The recipe called for a tsp of flavoring. She used mint, per her directive. It frosted beautifully.

So, for dessert we served it up. As I've said, the cake was delicious.

CU-3 said Thank you.

DH requested a second cut because he had to share with CU-4.

CU-1 ate half, pushed the uneaten half away saying "It's good. It tastes like toothpaste."
