Beach Cake

We checked two more items off Addy’s California must-do list 

with a morning visit 

to Channel Islands National Park 

and the adjacent beach in Ventura,

and lunch at In-N-Out. They don’t have that in Colorado!

Then we counted the minutes until it was time to pick up Leia and head to our next adventure - cake decorating at Duff’s CakeMix in Tarzana. 

Leia loves baking and watching shows on Food Network, so this seemed like the perfect surprise for her upcoming birthday. I knew she’d be thrilled.

What really pleased me was how excited Addy was 

and how much fun she and Rachel had decorating their cakes.

Duff’s supplies everything you need,

from the cake or cupcakes, to fondant and buttercream frosting in a rainbow of colors, tools, molds, instruction and more. 

We spent almost 3 hours playing and could easily have stayed another hour or more.

If they had been busy, our time would have been limited to 1 hour - and there’s no way we could have finished these masterpieces in that short a period. Glad we timed it so well!

P.S. It tasted good too!
