Cooking with my 5-year-old daughter is one of my joys in life (when she isn’t being a total kitchen spaz and pissing me off). She was a pretty amazing little helper when we recently decided for my husband’s birthday to take advantage of a Christmas present I received that’s been sitting in the pantry. We made him chocolate lava cake as birthday cake. The cute kit I had even came with the little ramekins. I’ve also been enjoying food photography later (suck at it or not), so I thought I’d post some pictures of steps of making a lava birthday cake.
Mixing up the cake batter:
Nice visual instructions for the kiddo:
The lava cake fresh out of the oven:
And with some cake bling (daughter learns about “presentation” by adding whipped cream, strawberries, shaved chocolate and powdered sugar), the Lava Birthday Cake is complete:
Delicious!

Thanks for the nice comments and the add to your reader.
it looks nice when we share together in arranging our birthday cake i think it will be most beautiful and delicious one as we arrange it our own
For the health conscious person, you can bake a 50th birthday cake low or no fat. A carrot cake is a lovely healthy choice. The ingredients can be substituted for the decorations that are fat and no sugar.
