Annual Bake Off

For those who know we do a Bake Off at my mom's Christmas party. This was the third one and Riley, Matt and I participated. Here are the pictures of our entries. Riley was insistent that she be in the adult contest because last year we told her she was in the kid one and she won. She figured out this year that she would win because she is the only one in the kid contest so she wanted to be included with the rest of us. We were very proud of her for wanting to do that because we have told her so many times that it is not about winning and she understood. She never once pouted or was upset when she didn't win. She did great placing tied for 5th, Matt took 4th and I took 2nd.
Here are the preparations:
