My husband (who is kitchen challenged), my five year old boy and my four year old boy were in the kitchen making a birthday cake for me. I am listening in...

My husband: I think we were supposed to spray the pan. I think we have to dump it.
Five year old: Oh no...this is not a good start...

They dump it back into the bowl. My husband washes and sprays the pan.

Four year old: WHAT are you doing?
My husband: Little guy, it says right here. Use no stick cooking spray.
Four year old: No cooking spray? Why did you spray it? This is a very, very bad start...

Then they start on the icing and my boys abandon him. I ask why they left and the four year old says, "It was being MESSY!"

I mean, that cake was not higher than a pancake and they ran out of icing but it was the best cake I ever ate!
