What Do You Do When Kids Choose Chips Over Your Cake?
Oh, sweet friend, let me paint a picture for you. You’ve spent the afternoon in your happy place, the kitchen. Flour dusts the countertops like a gentle snow. The air smells of vanilla and melting butter. You’ve whisked, folded, and piped with loving care, creating a masterpiece—a delicate choux cake, layered with silken pastry cream, billows of whipped cream, and crowned with perfectly ripe strawberries. You present it, your heart swelling with pride, only to hear the crinkle of a potato chip bag opening. Your little one happily munches on a salty crisp, oblivious to your creation. Your partner, perhaps sensing the delicate mood, decides it’s the perfect time to go brush their teeth.
