I sure had myself a Good helper in the kitchen yesterday.
It was none other than Miss Mylee Jo herself...
Cupcakes is what she wanted to make......so, (SHE) made cupcakes.
For those of you who do not follow me on FB......check out Mylee's cooking video! Click on the above link.
I was beginning to think that she would never get them in the oven! It took a Loooooooooong time to get the batter spooned into the cups.
As you can see below, the cupcakes are all different sizes!! No measuring for her.... Just spoon a little, take a bite or two out of some of the spoonfuls, and spoon a little more...

And hey......what's a little batter on the pan going to hurt??
Mylee loves to bake....and she wants to do everything herself. When she cracks the eggs, it cracks me up. No kidding, this girl grabs the egg and gives it a BIG whack....then, with one hand, the egg is emptied into the batter. This is talent! I'm not saying that I don't have to dig out a few egg shells ever now and then, but most of the time....she nails it!
Of course......we all know that when we bake, we have to do the dishes. No problem at all for Mylee. As a matter of fact, my floor was clean, the counter tops were clean, and I can promise you that she was CLEAN....... Water Was Everywhere!!!!!!
The way I see it is........School will be out for the summer in just about 6 weeks, and since her mom is a teacher, this means I only have a short period of time left in keeping her each day. In August, Mylee will be going to kindergarten.
I'm gonna try to enjoy every minute of these next 6 weeks with her.
She did a great job in here baking and the best part is.....
Her bubba's loved having cupcakes as their after school snack...
I can see it now.....Mylee will most likely be posting on
"Sam's Recipe City" facebook page real soon.....
Hugs to all...

I bet they were delicious and you are so proud! They are beautiful and lovingly made. And I am glad that you are letting her do her own thing and do not criticize much, that makes it continue to be fun for her. YES to making the most of every second before school.
