My little Betty Crocker

Posted By on November 2, 2012

Sam loves cakes and brownies and such and recently I promised her we would make cupcakes together.  I have been waiting for Sam to get old enough to bake with me and she has reached the age where she can actually help, so I decided we’d finally make some.  She always hides when I use my stand mixer because she thinks it is too loud, but when it came time to actually fill the cupcake cups, she was right there to watch.  Standing on her chair to help me, she had a million questions about why I was doing what I was doing and she ever so helpfully pointed out every single time I spilled some batter.   Her favorite part, of course, was helping me put on the frosting.

Sam wanted her very own knife and picked out which cupcakes she wanted to do.

More frosting was going in her mouth than on the cupcakes, but who can blame her?

When I tried to pick up the ones she already semi-frosted she kept yelling at me, “No Mommy!  There is already frosting on there!”

Overall though, I was very proud of her.  She took her time and really tried to do a good job.

On to the reward – eating!

Christmas cookies will be right around the corner.  I can’t wait to see what we will do together then.
