I remember when my daughter was little and used to love decorating cookies with me during the holidays. As she grew older, she lost interest. I was hoping that she would want to continue to learn how to bake like I did as a child. But her creativity went in another direction. She was to be an artist.
Holly is now a graphic arts college student. So when she asked me if she could make some cupcakes one day, I was thrilled! Everyone kept telling me that she would come around some day. With her creative hand, she produced beautiful cupcakes. I had to capture the moment on film.
How did she do it, you ask? She used a box of Funfetti cake mix and a can of chocolate frosting. Kids have to start somewhere, don’t they?
I have never been more proud of my daughter and her talent as an artist. Here is a sample of her work:
I am a huge advocate for teaching kids how to bake and spend time in the kitchen. Even though my daughter never offers to bake with me in the kitchen, I still invite her in to watch. My mom not only let me in the kitchen, she let me take over once in a while. Passing on tried and true recipes to your children is the only way to preserve them.
Happy baking,
Pam
