making cupcakes

i was MIA in the blog world for a good while so i'm trying to make it up to you who have patiently waited for more posts. i never know when life is going to overtake me again so hopefully this week of frequent posts will keep you going!

i was doing a trial run of mini-cupcakes and brody and emersyn joined in the fun. emersyn had her first chance on the step stool and brody had his first try at the icing gun . . . . need i say that lots of fun was had by all!



emersyn was checking things out. she's really starting to participate more and more. not only are her skills improving, but i think she grew a bit taller, and that's really helping her to keep up. don't i know what a little extra height can do . . . i love a good pair of heels!



brody was trying to run away before i could catch his picture, but i was faster than he was on this one! great smile!



in case you're wondering how the trial run of the cupcakes went they were a hit with our family, but we learned that i need to fill the cupcake papers a little more than 3/4 full for perfect sizing. the icing works best if it's a little closer to room temp than cold. and the regular buttercream frosting is better than the whipped. . . . in case you were wondering :)

so much fun! I can't tell if Em is more excited about the cupcakes or just being on the stool.
