Julia Grace is 4!!!!

Well since I am almost positive we will be celebrating Julia's birthday for at least a week, Wyatt and I decided to let her pick out her own present at Toys R Us yesterday. We did the usual and tried to "talk up" various toys but to no avail. We are now the proud owners of: ........

THE CUPCAKE MAKER






I am sure you are thinking "Wow, that looks like a child size Kitchen Aid mixer" rest assured it is not.

While we were preparing to make cupcakes Mags made herself busy.

Really the big contraption only ices the cakes and before you can use that you must make the cup cake. This involves mixing batter (add water to a packet of powder) and cooking it for 30 seconds in the microwave.

Sure enough out came a golden fluffy cupcake (IN 30 seconds). Then we prepared the icing. Same as before add water to a packet. It was about here that we got a little off track and Wyatt decided that the icing was too runny. So I thought we will just add some powdered sugar and thicken it up a bit. (we needed it to be thick because when you put the icing in the contraption it squeezes the icing out onto the cupcake for you and the cupcake spins around).


The cupcake that only took 30 sec to cook.

After being iced and sprinkled.

The finished product.

See below is a video of Julia's sugar rush that I guess is our fault for adding powdered sugar to already sweet enough icing.
