Come take a picture of this, Mom

That’s what my daughter said the other day, calling me into the kitchen.

And when I went in there, this is what I found:

messy cupcake chocolate

She’d been baking again, squeezing brownies into cupcake molds using a plastic bag, and the bag popped.

As you can tell, that didn’t stop her. (Somehow, we always end up with a kitchen disaster.)

But that’s okay. The brownie “upcakes” (what she ended up naming her half-brownie/half cupcake creations) still turned out great.

beautiful cupcakes

Don’t you think? :)

  1. Those are awesome. Much more d-lish than the how they started life. :)Happy WW!

  2. That is impressive!! Whenever we have kitchen disasters like that (which is way more often than I should admit to) they never look so…finished in the end. Kudos to both of you!!!

  3. She is such a creative little baker! I love the name too – up cakes! Cute!

  6. Oh those turned out just beautiful! Did she have fun licking her fingers when she was done? Lol!

  7. Very cute, and I'm impressed at how calmly you handled the mess.

  8. She did a great job! I probably would have given up and just eaten the chocolate mix! haha.

  9. They certainly do look lovely. :) She did a great job!This is my first time visiting your blog and I've really enjoyed reading and clicking around.

I feel that with what you are doing here and totally agree about the sense of community that we moms need.I think I'll really enjoy following along. :) Blessings

  10. You know…cookies were made accidentally and look how that turned out. I think she might have something there with her "upcakes." Very clever…and beautifully decorated.

  11. They look great! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Your blog is great, I am a follower now!

  13. They are so pretty, but yet so yummy, she did a wonderful job even with all of the obstacle's against her. looks like another cook in the family!!!Yours in Health,Robin

  14. I'm so glad that mess was brownie mix…I was thinking something else. It's great to have creative children, isn't it?

  15. They do look lovely! I adore her passion for life and I love how you let her use her creativity so freely!

  16. They are beautiful! You are really great to let her have so much freedom in the kitchen. She will probably grow up to be a world famous pastry chef and tell stories of how you let her make beautiful disasters in your kitchen!

  17. mmmmmm, they look gorgeous!! I think I need to get myself a child with those cooking abilities. Our parrot child just doesn't seem to cut it!!

  18. Oh goodness….those cupcakes sure look pretty (and yummy) eventhough it was a mess to make them :)
