Something's Baking

Kids love helping out in the kitchen - especially when it's something they love eating! Baking cakes is always a kid favourite whether it's helping crack eggs or just licking the batter. To keep life easy I use the Betty Crocker cake mix - or box cake as we like to call it in Trinidad. It's easier, and less messy and since there's no real measuring to be done, it's much easier to let smaller kids be involved.

After mixing just place the baking cups (or as my kids say - cupcake paper) in the cupcake baking pans, put the batter in the cups, and follow the instructions to bake.

You can even choose to ice and decorate the cupcake afterwards as an additional activity. Here are some I did with my kids:
