During a visit by my favorite six-year-old, the subject of baking came up.
She immediately handed me one of my old magazines that highlighted Halloween-themed cupcakes.
The "ghostie" ones appealed to her and she wanted to make them "now."
I explained how it's way too early for Halloween but it didn't seem to phase her.
Luckily, we had all the ingredients needed.
So, first we made the chocolate cupcakes, then the homemade butter/ cream cheese frosting.
We split the frosting so part of it could remain white and part had chocolate added to it.
The little visitor did almost all of the work, including icing the marshmallows and adding the chocolate chip eyes.
All said and done, the ghosties came out "ghoulish" or, rather "gorgeous." (hee hee)
DO YOU EVER BAKE WITH YOUNGER BAKERS BY YOUR SIDE?
