Today we tried out a new place in town called Kids Cook. Barbara Beery who has written several children's cookbooks owns the store and has some really fun walk-in activities for the kids. Each week there are 2 different recipes that you can make (sweet & healthy) or you can decorate a cupcake. We went the easier route and decorated a cupcake. She knew exactly how to get a busy 2 year old involved and really made it a fun experience for Connor.
The tea pots were a huge hit. Connor's friend Emily has one that he loves to play with so I was thrilled to see a "boy" version that he could have.
After a little tea it was time for decorating a cupcake. He decorated his apron and decided to color his icing yellow. We mixed in the food coloring and spread it on top.
Let the decorating begin...
After he covered it with candy, Connor requested some strawberries to put on top. (The boy wont even touch a strawberry when I try to give him one!) Luckily she was able to find some in the back and even brought back some marshmallows.
"YUMMY!"
After trying a few bites it was time to clean up with the magic sponge.
Such a fun day and such a neat place. We will definitely be going back!

Okay, so I think this needs to be a field trip. It looks so fun!
Yes, we should definitely take the kids. I think they are still too young for the recipes, but the cupcakes are perfect for them!
