Cupcake Day

Jac is really into baking this week, so today we made cupcakes from scratch. I may never go back to cake mixes again - these were goooooooooood. 

Jac is pretty good at cracking eggs (as long as we check very closely for errant shell pieces) and mixing things together but I think this was her first time filling the cupcake papers. 

Not too bad! 

Her favorite job was using a straw to poke holes in the cooled cakes so the icing could seep down inside. 

 Warmed strawberry preserves for icing

I had in mind one or two holes but Jac assures me her way is *much* better. 

Also, Jac has new blue-light glasses and a horse named Cinnamon, both of which she loves. Is there anything cuter than a kid in glasses??
