Naturally, it got us talking about doing some baking together, and a couple of days later, out of the blue, Adam had a morning nap.
So instead of watching Frozen (AGAIN!!!), I suggested some baking.
She literally jumped at the idea.
We decided we'd make cupcakes. And they'd be pink. And they'd have jam and strawberries in them. It was the product of three separate recipes put together. It could have been disastrous... but it wasn't.
And she was thrilled to be actually baking. In truth, she mixed the batter for three seconds before proclaiming she was too tired to continue. She pushed two strawberries into two cupcakes before again informing me I'd better do the rest as she was too tired.
She was perfectly fine licking batter and jam off the spoon though - her first time, and if her reaction was anything to go by, not her last.
It was a regular cupcake batter, with pink gel colouring. We then poured some batter into the cupcake tin, added a teaspoonful of strawberry jam onto that. We then topped up with more batter, and popped half a strawberry on the top of each cupcake.
Bake. Cool. Eat.
Look lovely! Maybe I'll make a boy version with blueberries ;-) x
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! And I know for a fact that blueberries melt into dough very nicely. x
