Hi all, I know, I know, I’ve been slacking in the blogging department.. but there’s been so much to do what with the Christmas festivities and all.
Christmas Eve is a special day for everyone but in my house it’s made even more unique being as it’s my oldest daughter’s birthday. This year she was 9 years old and requested a Cupcake Baking Party for her friends and herself.
This took some planning: 11 aprons, 11 bowls, 11 wooden spoons, 11 whisks, 11 piping bags with a range of nozzles.. Phew, I was exhausted and I hadn’t even had the party yet!
Emily, my daughter, decided to design her own recipe cards and we made her own invitations, so it really was a well planned event.
The house was already decorated for Christmas, so all we did was add some cupcake bunting, a cupcake table cloth, a giant cupcake centre piece and before we knew it we had our cupcake baking party.
Judge for yourself how you think it went:
The bakers!
Making chocolate and vanilla cake-pops
Dipping the cake-pops in white chocolate
The kids frost and top their cupcakes
Some of the finished masterpieces!
The party was a great success and everyone had so much fun! Not only did they all learn how to bake their own cupcakes and cake-pops, but they got to keep the aprons, utensils, recipe cards and everyone had a gift box of 4 cupcakes to take home.
