The New Cake Boss?

Atticus loves YouTube. He asks to watch his engine videos (12 minutes of a steam train leaving and entering stations in Wyoming, crossing bridges, etc., filmed with a handheld camera by some old guy), but he always ends up at the cakes.

Video tutorials for a train cake and a firetruck cake, specifically. He watches them with rapt attention. For the train cake they pipe a frosting track onto the plate. After watching them make two curved lines and add the cross ties, he got some paper and drew a set of tracks of his own. This was the first time he'd drawn anything other than scribbles. I was so impressed.

When he pretends to cook, he makes frosting. I swear there's a bakery somewhere in this boy's future.

I want to see his drawing. Did you put it on the fridge?
