We recently sat down as a family and watched the Kid's Bake-Off Challenge on the Food Network. Kids not much older than Sam's age participate in various baking challenges. Each episode, one kid is crowned the winner, while one kid finishes last and must leave the show. (I am hesitant to call this kid the 'loser'. This type of reality TV is heart-breaking enough, but there really are fewer things sadder than seeing a 10 year-old little girl pull her cake from the oven, then pop it out onto the counter, only to watch it goo all over the place because it isn't done. She was instantly reduced to tears.)
Anyway...the kids were inspired. So, on Thursday afternoon, we baked mini chocolate bundt cakes to decorate as volcanoes as we had seen on the last episode of the show, the Volcano Cake challenge.
Once the kids were finished decorating their cakes, they were asked to leave the room while the judges (Elise and I) deliberated.
Clementine's is at the top in the following photo, and...yes...the entire middle of the bundt cake is filled with sprinkles!
As they do in the show, we asked each of the contestants to step forward and tell the judges about their creation. Each contestant was awarded a first place ribbon in different categories and everyone survived to move onto the next round, because that's how we do reality TV in our household!
