Cupcakes are an all time classic to make with children. There are so many different types of cupcakes that you can make at home but for this one we are going nice and simple which makes it great if this is the first time that you are trying it out.
Before jumping right into the recipe, I can always remember making cupcakes as a kid. We probably should have made them more often but we always have a soft spot for cookies. And I think it probably had a little something to do with the mess. But when we did make cupcakes, it was a real treat because we got to play with icing sugar and food colouring. I don’t know what makes it so exciting as a kids but it just is! For parents, let’s just say it has a different emotion but one that every parents has to experience once. Who knows, you might just love it!
