In an effort to stave off some serious cabin fever one blustery spring afternoon, I moved Maddie's little stool from the bathroom into the kitchen to see if she would like "helping" Mommy with some baking. She loved it, to put it mildly, and has been a regular fixture in the kitchen ever since. Yesterday, she and I whipped up some chocolate raspberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. As long as she has an ingredient in one hand and a measuring utensil in the other, she is pleased as punch and jabbers away while we mix and stir and sift and fold. I learned the hard way, however, that I'd better have a hand over the bowl at all times lest "1 teaspoon of salt" spontaneously turns into "1/2 cup of salt." "Savory" is not generally a word that should be used to describe cupcakes :) 
Enjoying a pre-dinner cupcake that is the reward for two hours of baking!!
