My girls are at an age where they have become big helpers in the kitchen. They are 8 and 10 and they love helping me cook or bake whenever they can. At this age, they like to be more independent in the kitchen, so my job is mostly teaching and overseeing.
My oldest daughter has been on a cupcake kick – always wanting to make cupcakes! With Christmas coming up, we have made a list of all the things we will be baking, and adding a few, new, fun ideas to the list. The latest idea is in this post.
