Is your mouth watering yet at all that cupcake goodness? I know it’s always more work to do cupcakes from scratch but it’s totally worth it! I love baking with my daughter and doing vanilla cupcakes from scratch gives us that fun time of just doing something together and then of course enjoying the fruits of our labor or in this case the cupcakes of our labor. We really enjoy that part I must admit!

Don’t these just look good enough to eat? Um well yeah of course that’s the whole point!

One part that I think is lots of fun with younger kids and something I did with my daughter when I was younger was that we would let them do the decorating part. We would put the icing on but give them all the fun decorating tools, lots and lots of different colored sprinkles, stick ems as we used to call the little decorations that were attached to toothpicks, there always so many you can select from and the best part is those ones you can get from the dollar store!

We hope you enjoy these! What is one of your favorite treats to make or just eat?

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
