I gave the younger three a cake decorating challenge.  They first drew their designs on paper.  We had a vote on what they thought the best design was.  The kids then got to design a second idea to go along with the winner's design.  The final step was for the kids to decorate 3 cupcakes each, and decorate the large cake together.
