Today we all helped Mummy bake cupcakes for her aunt's birthday.

First we had to gather all the ingredients for the cupcakes.



Look, how well we fit into the bowl! 

Then we had to grate an apple.



Or more precisely Lieselotte and Cookie grated the apple while I observed them and Oink  snacked on an apple slice.

But Oink made it up when she took over the important task of weighing the sugar.



Cookie mixed sugar and butter together while Lieselotte and I weighed the right amount of flour and Oink measured the baking powder.



Everyone watched while Cookie mixed everything together well.



Then we let Mummy fill the dough into the muffin tray and we snacked on the leftover dough. *yummy* 



While the cupcakes were baking we weighed ourselves.



Look, all together we weigh a little over 200g.

Then we measured the red currant jam for the topping...



... and mixed it together with butter, powdered sugar and crème fraîche.

To make the finished cupcakes look like apples we had to make some decorations from marzipan and colouring.



Here you can see the results:

...and decorated:



Sadly, we couldn't taste them just now because they were for the next afternoon and had to be put in the fridge overnight.
But tomorrow I'll try one!
