Elliot’s Science Project

Last week my 11 year old neighbor boy Elliot asked me to help him with his science project. We did it today after school

I baked the cake before he arrived so it would be cooled off.  We took turns rolling out the Fondant since it was so hard. He did the rest.  In case you are wondering, it is not modern art.  It is  a model of a plant cell.

The cake is Blue Velvet.  He loved the blue which proved my sister Dee Dee was right.  She said Elliot was too creative for a plain old white cake, that I better buy the Blue Velvet she saw at Giant Eagle.

My friend Connie Metro was concerned about how he would carry it to school. She suggested using the lid from one of the bankers boxes I brought my personal stuff home in when I retired.  So that is what we did.

I think Hilary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child.  We are proof it takes at least 3 old ladies.

The cake is beautiful.  He will surely get an A on this science project.  We had a heck of a good time doing it.
