Take action!

One of my favorite past-times when my girls were growing up was to bake and create fun and crazy things in the kitchen. It was a great way to get them all involved in an activity where they could see the result of their work, and have fun eating it too! In this Smiley Chocolate Vanilla Cake mix recipe, I suggest using nuts, chocolate chips and chocolate frosting. These are just guidelines for the fun ways you can mix frostings and toppings with your kids in the kitchen. Assign jobs to everyone and have fun working together for a tasty result!
