Crazy Cupcakes

With all the rain we have been having lately, the kids had done quite a number on the house. It actually looks like a bunch of wild animals have been let loose in it. So I sent the kids to play clean their rooms while I embarked on the main rooms of the house.

After all of the cleaning was done it was time to fulfill my end of a bribe to provide the kids with some much needed mommy and me time, which also provided some very yummy snacks. So we loaded up and off to the Dollar general store we go. After letting the kids pick some sugary sweet stuff to decorate our cupcakes with we headed home to start our adventures in baking. I have never tried this with all six before but it went better than expected.

First we had to mix the batter for this task I refused help from all but one helper. Isabela,10, my oldest was enthralled with the idea of cracking and separating an egg. We made white cake so no yolk. so glad i gave her separate bowl, otherwise these would have been some majorly crunchy treats. So while I mixed Issi placed the cupcake liners in the pan.

Next it was time to call in my tribe all be it only a few at a time. I could never undertake this task alone with all six at one time. Yes, while I am supermom to them. No mom is Super mom enough to handle all six at one time while making cupcakes. So group one in cupcake land is Marco and Pedro. You would never know because all four or the littler ones had to come and watch. I do believe this is to make sure they don't get left out of the action.





 





Pedro loved eating the candy




Marco ate more cake batter than candy I do believe

Now for kid group number two. I didn't have to look far since Gabby and Selina were already at the table watching the boys. So we moved on to the next two.

This is what is in the middle of the cupcakes

Now for the third and final group the big kids as they like to be called.

Alejandro despite his I am a kid and like nothing that the littles like self LOVED this

Isabela wanted nothing but the mini p-nut butter cups in hers

Couldn't find sprinkles to put on the cupcakes so I bought these instead

Now was time to bake the 24 crazy cupcakes that the kids so loving and methodically made. And believe it or not so far no mess was made. Next for the icing and decoration of the top. Which means more candy. And here is the finished product.

Selina doesn't discriminate she loves all things CANDY!!!



Cant tell Isabela LOVES pnut buttercups



Marco in the Gummy worm man



Alejandro said,"Mom I made mine muffins."




Pedro just wanted to eat his



Gabby thought hers were the "most awesome"

Now that was FUN!!!! I was expecting to find a mess when we got done but to my surprise no mess was made!!!!!

Now here are a few things I figured out during this project:

1. My kids love to bake and are actually pretty good at not making a mess while doing it

2. If you don't own a mixing bowl just use a pot it even has a handle to hold the bowl still while stirring

3. cant find sprinkles use Nerds

4. 24 cupcakes only last about a night with 6 kids

5. 1/3 cup is actually around 5 tablespoons( lost that measuring cup so I googled it)
