Benjamin had his first Baker's Day at school today. Last night mommy and daddy sat up until way after bedtime making 17 cupcakes (and extras for the teachers too!). We got the cupcake recipe from the World Baking Day site and I received a few great ingredients from Stork that I was keen to make use of. I also had a whole container of NoMU's Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder that I knew would be a hit. You don't understand how tangy, chocolaty and creamy that icing was. I love baking, and I love spoiling the boys. Baker's Day is this thing they do at school... Every Friday just one of the kids' parents bake or buy a few treats for their child to 'sell' to his class. Each child pays for the treat with a R5 and this goes toward the school's fundraising project for cool things like more sand pits, a bike track etc. I love their school so much, they make every little thing so special for the kids.
I know it would be so much easier to run out and buy cupcakes on the morning, but I love doing these little things together as a family. I love licking out the bowl, and for the boys to see us making things from scratch. It's more rewarding for us, although we have been guilty of the odd 'pick something up from the shops' moments when in a pickle or just feeling lazy. Don't tell my mom! Kidding... She reads my blog (jammer mamma) Thanks so much Stork and NoMU for the family spoils. Benjamin's first Baker Man Day was a huge hit! His teacher even sent me these really sweet pictures from her phone this morning. What a proud little guy! PS Look at the cupcake right by his hand. Notice how it's missing a cherry? Happy baking guys x
