Baking with my Valentine

"I'm stirring it all up!"

"I did it!"
"Stir in the candies"

"I'm gonna put da icing on and eat IT!"

You can never have too many sprinkles... especially when they are pink!

She couldn't wait to eat her "cakes"

Yummy

We had to taste each one!

I love how her little pinky is held up in this shot...

They were all good!

I just love baking with Delaney. She was so excited to make some "cakes" for Valentine's Day! We often cook from scratch but she had picked out a Valentine cake mix at the store so we started by looking at the directions. I said we needed oil and water and eggs... she carefull counted the eggs in the picture and said "1,2,3... 3 eggs mama" That's my smart girl! She loves stirring it all up and watching it bake in the oven...but the best part for her is decorating and I'd have to agree! She spread her own icing on a few cupcakes and went to town with the sprinkles... she kept asking "Can I eat them now?" .... and finally it was time... so she taste tested each one of the four she had made all by herself.... "YUMMY!" she exclaimed.... though she really only ate the icing and sprinkles off the top! It was a fun way to spend Valentine's Day morning...baking with my little sweetie!
