Making cupcakes

I have wanted to bake with my kids since long before I even had kids. I have never let Cason help me bake before, I was thinking of waiting until he's closer to three. I don't know if it's because I'm a control freak and like things done a certain way or what. But my friend, Lacy, convinced me to give it a shot. I had to make some Halloween cupcakes on Tuesday to take to MOPS on Wednesday morning so I decided to let Cason help. It was nothing fancy, just the funfetti box mix. He had a blast so I know I need to let him help bake more in the future.

He added everything except the oil and eggs and stirred it all up. He didn't want to help me hold the mixer though.



Stirring in the sprinkles.



Putting the cupcake liners in the muffin tin. A rare picture of me.



His first ever time licking "the spoon". He loved this and when the spoon was licked clean said "more ice cream pease".



After his nap, I had left one cupcake unfrosted for him on a plate with a chunk of frosting and some sprinkles. I let him go to town with it but he didn't put much frosting on, he ate that straight off the plate. He LOVED the sprinkles, I don't think he's ever seen sprinkles before.



He kept saying "Yum-ME" with an emphasis on both syllables. He only really ate a few bites of the cupcake though.
