Today MeMe and I decided to bake cupcakes. I had no idea how it would go, I thought she might not show any interest, or want to put her hands in all the mixture then put it in her hair, which is what she loves doing with her tea. I decided to not make it complicated by doing it all from scratch, as I knew she would loose interest quickly, especially when its been ages since I have baked anything, so I wanted a nice and easy challenge.
I bought a Peppa Pig Cupcake Kit from Sainsburys, I think it was about one pound something. In the pack you get the cupcake cases, the cake mixture already made, chocolate icing sugar and some little Peppa Pig decorations to put on top. All you need is one egg and a little bit of water- fool proof!
It's so quick and easy that MeMe didn't loose interest and really enjoyed helping me Woohoo, it worked! She helped put the bun cases on the oven tray, helped with whisking the mixture (although she was trying her best to get the whisk in her mouth) and then loved decorating them. It such a good feeling trying new things, and seeing her really taking it all in, and enjoying herself.
I think our first time at baking was a success. I'm definitely going to get some more of these packs to have in the cupboard for a rainy day. Personally I don't know who enjoyed it more- Me or Melissa hehe! Great British Bake Off here we come!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you enjoyed it.
Please comment below, if you have tried baking with your little ones, or if you know of something I should try.
