When Mom and Dad have a Date Day.....

Auntie Pookie and Treyden have a Baking Day!!!

After a Valentine's Day spent at McDonald's, Mommy wanted a real date night. So on Saturday, Auntie Pookie came out to visit and play and Daddy and Mommy headed to Calgary for dinner and some shopping. After two hours of playing and a few too many hours to go until bedtime, Auntie Pookie decided we needed an activity to pass some time. So we decided to bake!

Let our adventure begin....

Step 1. Test that Auntie Pookie knows how to use Mommy's camera. After I saw the camera strap hanging from the kitchen counter, Auntie Pookie quickly remembered she needed to keep the camera AND camera strap out of reach.


Step 2. Find a recipe in Mommy's recipe book.



Hmmm. Which one looks good? Corn salad? Nope. Sweet and sour spareribs? Huh?

Hey, what's this one? Chocolate cupcakes?


YAY! Auntie, let's make Mommy's favorite chocolate cupcakes to surprise her!


Step 3. Put cupcake liners in the muffin tin.



Hey, these are kind of funny looking...


Step 4. Stir the dry ingredients together. I was very careful and only got a little bit of flour on Mommy's clean flour. Auntie helped me clean it up.



Step 5. Get ready to mix! I'm not too sure about this though....



Hey, this is kind of fun!!!


Step 6. Put the cupcakes in the oven to bake. Auntie did this job, even though I wanted to help.

Hey, are they done yet?


Cupcakes take a long time to bake. I need a snack...



And a rest....

Auntie, baking cupcakes is HARD WORK!



Step 7. Ice the cupcakes. Thanks for letting me help and don't worry Mom, Auntie didn't let me eat too much icing off the spoon!

Step 8. Eat the cupcakes. Just to be sure mommy will like them.


Yummy!!! Auntie, we make gooooood cupcakes. Thanks for coming to bake.
