Last Saturday, Lee spent the day in New Hampshire visiting Memere and his parents. The frigid temperatures - below zero - limited my options for keeping Elizabeth and Emily entertained. So, I fell back on an oldie but goodie - baking. More specifically, baking cupcakes. Other than eating cupcakes, there is nothing the girls love more than baking cupcakes. AND this time, I got smart - when they started arguing about what color the frosting should be, I simply split the batch that I was making in half and gave them each their choice of food coloring. The end result - chocolate cupcakes, 1/2 with purple frosting, 1/2 with pink frosting - and all of them mmm, mmm good.
Notice the fine jewelry they wear for baking....
The mixer is a magnificent (and scary) thing.
Elizabeth mixes a ridiculous amount of pink food coloring into her frosting (above), while Emily keeps the purple more on the lilac side (below).
The purple cupcakes remind me of "The Cat In The Hat" movie :-)
