Little Man has been baking a lot of late, completely of his own accord and without any assistance from me other than the in-and-out of the oven bit.
He decided to make chocolate shortbread biscuits at the weekend.
He looked through all my cookie cutters and chose the mini gingerbread man one.
When they were cool he was very excited about decorating them.
We went to the shops to purchase silver balls and white icing especially for this purpose.
I was expecting that the silver balls would be used to make buttons.
But no.
Not buttons.
The silver balls were used to make ....eh-hem....balls!
Boy baking.
Boy biscuits.
Brilliant.

Okay so now I'm going to be humming "Silver Balls" for the rest of my week. LOL!!! Very, very nice. :D Thank you so much for sharing this. I think I'll go shovel snow and hum about them.... hehehe

So funny, your little decorator...years ago my youngest daughter decided to decorate a Christmas star by plastering those silver balls all over it and then proceeded to present it to her grandpa. He said he knew who decorated that cookie, and my husband said, "Be careful dad, that one will break your dentures!" Children, God bless them.

Thanks! :D

This is the funniest post! Laughing so hard . . . Practically ROFL here! I immediately heard "Silver balls, silver balls. It's Christmas time in the city. I love the kid's imagination. Please don't show him any of these comments until he's 18. :D Save them.
You and yours have honestly made my day.
