It's a bad idea to teach them that they can play with icing and spatulas that are like yours...if you get them any kitchen toy stuff make sure it's big and plastic and colorful, and looks nothing like your tools. There should be a hands-off policy that you enforce until they're older, because 2 yr olds won't understand that it's okay to touch their icing and spatulas but not yours.
Naptime is great, and evenings after bedtime works too for getting things done. It gets easier once they start school, but you just have to keep a light cake schedule until then unless you have someone to watch them for you. I started doing wedding cakes when my daughter was 1 and my son was 4, but I seriously don't remember when I worked. That was 12 years ago so I can't remember! I do remember that when my son started preschool and I only had 1 at home to deal with it was a HUGE difference.
