Bake Sale

Today I participated in the school's bake sale. Parents prepare bake goods they send with their kids and a few volunteer parents (your's truly included) sell the good to the kids at a cost of $0.25 to $0.75. Kids love it. Everything look so good too. Mathieu and Sabrina are both very excited during the bake sale.

Around the end. This table was full.

I made my famous carrot cake (see recipe below). It took a while to start going but when it was discovered, did it ever go. Sabrina's next year teacher took a piece and wanted to know who was the parent who made the cake, telling me it was so good. It's hard to be humble ;)
