Blueberry-Lime-Cupcakes

Skibbles loves to bake.  It’s one of her favorite things to do and I always make a learning experience out of it.  Whether we are talking about colors of our ingredients, learning fractions from the measuring cups, or counting things out, there’s always something to learn.  One of her favorite things to make is any type of cupcake or cake. Can you blame her? I decided this week we were going to make Blueberry Lime Cupcakes. A delicious yellow lime cupcake made from scratch, stuffed with a blueberry sauce and then topped with a lime and cream cheese frosting. WHAT!? YESSSSSS!!!

Skibbles has embraced the Mini Chef title full force.  She’s absolutely adorable whenever she thinks the video is rolling. Since we do videos on our social media channels, she’s got her tag lines down the second she thinks we are recording. “Hey guys, I’m Mini Chef Skibbles. What we making today? We making _____ (insert what we’re making)”. It’s one of my greatest joys since bringing her into the world. She also constantly asks for her picture to be taken when she’s doing something involving food.

Andrew and I were actually having a conversation about how awesome it would be if she ended up as a chef or baker because of all the adorable and fun photos we have of her cooking and/or baking in the kitchen. Who know what she will be when she grows up, but at the very least she’s going to know her way around the kitchen much better than I did at any age and for that, I’m happy.  She has been trying to get her sister involved more when we do things in the kitchen and I’ve happily been letting her. I absolutely just adore watching them bond together and food seals that bond even more.

I also started letting her practice piping icing on the cupcakes this time.  She did amazing for her first time. Albeit, it was more of just some blobs on top, it was adorably sweet to watch how excited doing this made her.

These blueberry lime cupcakes were amazing and we hope you love them as much as we do!
