Baking Bonanza

Two Thursdays ago, the baking gang got together for our activity. This time, we made chocolate cupcakes. Just mention the word "chocolate" and the children can’t wait to help. The boys in the group were so eager to help that they offered to count out our cupcake wrappers and put them into the trays while the girls got started on the dry ingredients.

The most sought-after job is ALWAYS cracking the eggs. We have lots of excellent egg crackers, by the way. We even have children who will show and help others who don’t yet have the skills to crack eggs.

In the final steps, we combined the wet and dry ingredients for our chocolate batter. After the batter was in the trays, I slipped some chocolate chips into the cupcakes for our little bakers to enjoy a nice surprise.

With nice gooey chocolate in the fresh cupcakes, we had enough for each child to take home two - one for them and one for someone special!

Hopefully, they shared…
