BANANA BREAD CUPCAKES

What a delightful day in Spring Break! The girls went an exciting adventure as they baked banana bread, cupcakes and sugar cookies! Furthermore, they all decorated their cookies and cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles, and I also taught the girls some simple techniques on how to neatly decorate their puffy, scrumptious  cupcakes and sugarcookies. They learned how to create a successful bake as well as answer some quiz questions on measurement and ingredients I had proposed for them at the end of the session. Couple of the girls went above and beyond when they answered my questions or asked any questions, which was something I had not expected. We all had a wonderful, fun-filled day with laughter and smiles!
