Oh look, a cute little baby that loves to carry around spoons and open the fridge.
But wait, what's that white goatee?
No problem, Lily. It's only a cake for Daddy's work that has to be there in five minutes. I don't think anyone will ever notice you went mining for gold in the cream cheese frosting. [And gave up when you hit cake--did you really think it was going to be a big sheet of straight frosting?]

...Is that silence I hear while I've been trying to make the pockmarked cake presentable? Of course it is. And of course someone's been busy in the bathroom.
A few weeks ago I made a cake that I was going to have my cub scouts decorate like an American flag. I left it out to cool, and rejected Eliza's many pleas to have a little "taste test." Exactly two minutes before my scouts showed up I returned to the kitchen just to find huge handfuls gone from the cake, and Eliza was nowhere to be found...until I followed the trail of cake crumbs to the bathroom. No time for pictures then. Good thing the scouts will eat anything.

HA!!! How did you have time to take those pictures while resurrecting a cake? She looks so naughty in that first one, I know that look well. I know what I would've done--headed straight for the bakery and made Lily buy the cake from her savings.
haha .. Janel, I just love your blog .. always so entertaining ;) Your girls are so adorable!! Seriously, you should write a book about "My Three Daughters". I guess your blog could be it ... anyway, keep them coming :)
lily knows what the good stuff is. ha! like she'd go for the cake when there's frosting.
What a stinker!! That is so funny. I love the gouge marks out of the cake! Wow!
PS. I notice a theme in your most recent two posts. And they even look alike.
I was exactly the same way when I was little! I totally remember being overcome by the desire to wolf down sugar, it was all encompassing! Good thing Halloween is around the corner, your cakes may live to see their proper feasting time:)
Maybe your girls are trying to tell you something when they sneak into the frosting, chocolate chips, etc. Like they aren't getting enough sugar in their diet. I know the feeling.
I'm impressed you got pictures and fixed the cake. I would never have thought of taking pictures of the guilty party. They would have been banished to their room by the time I thought of capturing the moment. Good for you. Now you have proof of their naughtiness. That may come in handy when they're older.
Sounds like time to make cake balls!
So funny! Love that she went from one to the next!! Classic. Watch for that one!! :)
At least she understands that mascara belongs in the general vicinity of the eye! And that cake looks just yummy enough that I wouldn't mind digging in with a spoon either!
your girls are THE masterminds behind finding sugar, it's so awesome! Not to mention, you always have such delicious things to be found around your house, its no wonder you've had so many sneaky "taste tests" to deal with. And you are pretty amazing for capturing it on camera. And I can't believe how old Lily looks, seriously. I still expect her to be bald.
