Panny's Protege

Last week I had my 6 year old niece, Olivia, for a sleepover.  I made a plan with her to bake cupcakes the next day since she was going to be at my house most of the day.. which was her last day of summer vacation.  Well, needless to say, she absolutely loved it!  At one point she said to me "I wish I lived here.. I can't believe uncle Mike (my hubby) and Oliver (my 2 year old) don't love to do this all day".. to which I replied "I can't believe they don't either Liv" :)

Some pics from our awesome day...

 

 I told her she could choose from any of the liners I had on hand.. 

of course she chose 1 or 2 of each design :)

batter time.. look how focused she is!

 Aren't they super cute with all the different liners.. I love it!

  Cupcakes Baked.. on to step #2!

 Rule #1 in baking... taste EVERYTHING!

filling her icing bag..

 Look at those piping skills!

And now.. the best part.. decorating!!

 

 This one was made especially for 'Panny' ;)

 

One of my faves.. she put some of every decoration we had on this one!

 

 Creativity at its best!

 

Liv's masterpiece cupcakes!

 

 Her favorite one.. which she did not want to eat but said she would "keep for decoration"

Some 'pre-baking' fun outside!
