soooooooo, I finally did it! I invited my 4-year-old in the kitchen with me to cook, and wait, there's more... he had a friend over!!!! Yes, you heard right, I was in the kitchen cooking with 2, yes 2, kids! (OK, i'm sure there are some of you out there with 5 and 6 kids and you're thinking, "BIG FAT DEAL" but this was a first for me so HUMORE ME!)
I started out small with Cupcakes, and shhhhhhhh, I used a box mix. but I decided to do something a little fun for the kids, we took mini candy bars and poked them into the batter, that way when you bite into the cupcake you get a little surprise! We made a huge mess, it took way longer than I thought and... the kids, and even me, had a BLAST! Here's a few tips to make your life easer when you try this... trust me, some of this I learned the HARD WAY!
If you have more than one child helping you, give them each there own things, I had a chocolate and vanilla mix and each of them got one, they both had there own bowls, there own frosting, well, you get the idea!
If you let them crack there own eggs have them do it in a separate bowl so you can pick out the shells before dumping them into the cake mix, (smart, I know, I thought of it myself)
and finally, After you make the cupcakes delivered them to friends with homemade cards, that made the day even more fun for us!
to find out the exact recipe and more tips and hints you'll have to pick up my book, out in Nov. (I know, it's a shameless plug!)
