a cake in the making

What's better than eating cake?  Well when you're four, and you're Jacob, the answer is making the cake.  He was a supreme helper.  Helping measure.  Emptying the cracked eggs.  Braving the noise of the mixer...  

And here he is, helping with the clean-up*

*Note -- although Jake did a bang-up-job cleaning the beater, I was tasked to clean-up that chocolate face.
