Piglet and Roo's Honey Cakes

A couple of weeks back we spent the morning playing with friends.  We were on our way home when we decided on a whim to stop off by one of our favorite book stores.  It's called the Book Worm and its a resale book store tucked away in a small shop thats busting at the seams with books.  They have a really fun children's section with little couches and chairs to smuggle up in and read.  We usually read several books while we're there and then since their resale, we'll pick up a cheap book or two to take home.

This time Brenna picked a Hundred Acre Woods book called Honey Cake.  The book is about how Kanga leaves little Roo and Piglet to make Honey Cake for the Hundred Acre Wood Picnic.  Well, Roo and Piglet had some trouble following the instructions, so their cake was a flop.  Brenna loved the story and guess what was at the end of the book?  The recipe!  So how could I say no when she asked "Please, please Mama, can we make Honey Cakes?"

Now, as I mentioned several times before, I don't bake.  But, recently I had a couple of successes that went to my head and suddenly I thought I was Betty Crocker.  So, later that week Brenna and I whipped up what was suppose to be Honey Cupcakes.    

Pickels supervised the activity

They came out looking beautiful!  Until..............

Five minutes after this picture, they deflated into honey pancakes!  Oh well, we had a fun time trying.  Brenna's response was "Mama, I think we messed up like Piglet and Roo!"  It's back to baking from a box for me!
