First Day of Kids Camp

Told you I"d be back before a month:)
Today we had a marvelous time at our first day of Deelite Summer Kids camp.
Everyone was just so excited to get decorating and so was I. 
 I had blast watching Mommy and Kiddy bonding while getting creative. Good Ole fashion family fun:)
The best part was just watching all the kids get creative with their pops and expressing their personal style.
Kiddy's who were less than 8 years old came with there mommy's . 7 Years and up got to bring a best friend.
Here are our best tween friends rolling their cake pops. 

 I could tell my lil decorating stars could not wait to get their hands into the sprinkles so I tried by best to keep my demos short sweet and simple.

Here they are dipping their pops.

 I Luv the facial expression here:)

 All my lil cake pop pros received a Deelite certificate. 

Congrats to all of you and hope you will make lots of other sweet treats for your friends and family!

Unfortunately, we 're not at the half way point yet so I won't spend too much time day dreaming about the end of the renovation:)

We've also been doing some really fun Rainbow theme party cakes. There has been a trend of one rainbow part after another so I thought I'd share some of our latest Rainbow creations:)
