Cupcakes and Kiddos

The weather is so nice today! It's supposed to be 71! Happy birthday to me! Today I decided that I wasn't going to do any dishes or laundrey, but then I remembered I had planned to make cupcakes and that threw out the idea of no dishes given how little counterspace I have. But that makes me thankful for the new faucet that we have that makes dishes much easier! Some how new things make some tasks more tolerable. :)

These were an experiment I did with King Aurthur brand yellow cake mix. It actually turned out pretty good! They were tastey, but I don't know how it would taste in a cake. But cupcakes are good! The aftertaste is kind of like a sweet corn bread, but it doesn't taste a thing like cornbread when you are eating it. And we had cream cheese frosting! Mmmm! Makes me feel a little less guilty about eating frosting when there's something "healthy" like cheese in it ;)

I look terrible...but this is right after putting the cupcakes in the oven!

Ok, so these totally look like snickerdoodle cupcakes! But they're not... :)

Avelyn needed something to do while we frosted cupcakes, so she got one of her own! Notice her cute pink tutu from Ggma!

Pictures!

Baby loves!

I'm suppose to do what?

Oh! Ok...like this?

Mmm... :)

Avelyn: 1, Cupcake: 0 :)

Cache was a big helper and he loves to help in the kitchen. He cracked the eggs, poured the milk and stired the bowl! He put in the cupcake holders and did a taste test! What a kid! He ended up licking all the frosting off and taking two bites of cupcake, but I'm just glad he was able to do that! :)

Hugs from all of us!
