Back-to-school tradition…

McCanless and I decided to make our back-to-school cupcakes again this year. We have always loved making cupcakes and we have even more fun now that she is much more involved. She literally does everything from cracking the eggs and mixing to decorating. (Which is why there aren’t many photos of her doing that one. I have to carefully supervise that. We have to buy extra red “fancy” icing color to make the icing red and not pink. Red icing doesn’t come off of much, including skin!)

I think McCanless did more tasting than cooking.

I need to frame this one. This is the look I see most often from her. This his how I’ll remember her at this age.

One day, Mary Clare, McCanless will let you help!

They both wanted to lick the icing bowl, but I quickly realized that that probably wasn’t a great idea!

I admire these apple cupcakes each year that you have posted them on your blog. I can’t wait until Kamdyn is in school so we can make them for her class. I could make them at school with my students, but we are making Pinkalicious cupcakes instead when we learn about the color Pink next week. Keep sending these cute ideas!
