I feel like we've been standing at this counter mixing and baking for the entire month. Cookies, cinnamon rolls, pies, and any number of delicious confections have found their origins here, and the kids are more than happy to oblige my insatiable need to try every new Christmas recipe that comes my way.
Today's project? Preparing our Happy Birthday Jesus cake, to be consumed at our family Christmas Eve dinner (aka, Jesus' birthday party). Last year, Abby was emphatic that Jesus wanted a pink birthday cake, so that's what we made. This year, Caleb managed to throw some ideas of his own out there, and between the two of them, they informed me that Jesus would like sprinkles on his cake.
"How many sprinkles?" I asked.
"All the sprinkles," Abby replied.
I should have known.
When it was finished, our fudge marble cake with dark chocolate frosting boasted nearly one and a half pounds of sprinkles. Two full tubs of sprinkles. All the sprinkles I had.
I'm pretty sure Jesus would approve.
