Bunny Cakes
By Rosemary Wells
(Scholastic Inc., 1997)
Bunny Cakes is the perfect book for littles to give to grandmas or nanas.
Grandma's birthday is coming up. Max made her a mud cake. He wanted to help Ruby bake her cake for grandma, but Ruby sent him to the store instead. With lots of "oops" mistakes and repeat trips to the store, Max was finally ostracized to the yard and forced to watch the cake decorating through the window.
Never fear, for Grandma had two cakes for her birthday. All is well on the birthday cake front.
Bunny Cakes may give young readers ideas on what to bake for someone's special birthday!
KID KANDY:
Make a Birthday Cake
Figure out what you want to celebrate (or whose birthday to celebrate).
1. Bake a cake. Use a recipe from scratch or a box cake mix. Let your little help follow the directions. It's ok, just pick out the egg shells before mixing.
2. While the cake is cooking, decide how to decorate it.
3. Let your little help you spread icing and add decorations and candles. There will probably be a certain amount of licking of the butter knife. Perhaps your little can lick when the icing is complete.
4. Celebrate!
5. Don't forget to let your littles help clean up the messy kitchen!
