Fun in the Kitchen!

Ben and Benjamin had to make a cake for the Father-Son cake contest at the Gold and Blue banquet for Cub Scouts this year. Benjamin has been all about Pacman and so they made a Devil's Food Cake and covered it with Marshmallow Fondant that they made from this recipe in this blog post: http://atsecondstreet.blogspot.com/2009/10/mario-kart-birthday-cake.html




This was a great recipe that I got in my King Arthur Flour email and had to try. It turned out so delicious. We made a few substitutions but were very pleased with how it turned out (and so were the friends that we gave the second loaf to:) Here is the recipe: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/jan-bretts-crunchy-whole-grain-bread-recipe


Homemade Marshmallows are so fun and pretty easy with this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/homemade-marshmallows-recipe/index.html
We love to experiment with colors and flavorings. The key is really to coat them well with the powdered sugar-cornstarch mixture.
