Gourmet Chez Nous

Michaela has been wanting to try out her Girl Gourmet cupcake maker ever since she opened it at Grandpa's and Ms. Susie's.  She asked so pleadingly, so sweetly, and so often the other day that I said okay, and we opened it up and cleaned everything up and got it ready.  She even washed the parts herself.  She wanted to do it, and who am I to stand in the way of someone wanting to wash the dishes? 

We made sure we had all the pieces and read through the instructions first.

Michaela carefully poured out the cupcake mix and then blended it with water, as the instructions instructed...

Would you believe that you then put the batter into a special little cupcake cup and into a special little cupcake baker which goes into the microwave which cooks this cupcake in 30 seconds?  How weird is that?  It actually makes me a little nervous, and I hope she doesn't sprout an extra arm or grow hair out of her bellybutton because she ate this crazy cooks-fast-in-a-microwave cupcake.  My brother would probably have a good rant about this...

But look, here it is, in all its chocolate cupcake glory...

Now, here's the part I really can't believe.  The main point and fun of this cupcake maker is to frost it.  There is a special froster that spins your cupcake around and dispenses the frosting at the same time!  And I forgot to take a picture of her doing that part!  So, we'll have to do that next time.  But here is one happy girl with a sweet treat from sweet grandparents.  Thank you, Grandpa and Ms. Susie, for a special afternoon!
