Day 32: On Thursdays We Bake

Yesterday was a pretty typical Thursday around here. My day started with my weekly Thursday at 7 am trip to the grocery. I am there right when they open. Things are stocked, and people are sane. I had some special items to get this week. Our neighborhood organized a thank you for those who are first responders on the front lines of this pandemic. They entered their names into a form, and the rest of us entered ours in another. One of the neighbors matched us up so we could leave a thank you treat on the responders front porch:

 The kids had a good time delivering it, and it's nice to be able to do something little to help and say thank you.

Issa and I have also decided we will try a new baking experience every Thursday. Yesterday, she wanted to try her first layer cake! We have been looking for a good gluten-free completely from scratch cake. We have some good boxes, but we finally found a from scratch recipe! The secret: arrow root! Issa has become a really good baker:

 She decided the cake needed a chocolate chip garnish:

 And Evan arrived just in time to help with that part:

 She was pretty proud of her finished project:

And it was absolutely delicious!
