It really isn’t that big of a secret to know that I don’t really care to cook.  I can cook and follow a recipe, but I would much rather eat someone else’s food or go out to eat.  Still, I know that cooking is important and I want my children to know how to follow a recipe and maybe even enjoy cooking.  So, while we were at the store Kalani saw this box to make Barbie cupcakes…really just white cupcakes with pink frosting, but Barbie was on the box.  I almost didn’t buy the box because we really don’t need cupcakes in our house, but I decided to let Kalani have a try at baking.

She mixed the batter and frosting all by hand since we don’t have a mixer here in Scotland.  Then she decorated each cupcake.  Of course by the end of the day we had eaten all of these cupcakes.  I hope that she will love to cook.  I think that each Friday will be our “cooking” or “baking” day when we get back to the state.  And when she gets older she will be in charge of cooking dinner at least once a week.  One less cooking day for me!
