clumsily raising my boys and baking cakes
These Simple Little Jammy Filled Cupcakes are so easy to make and perfect for children to bake with some grown up supervision. Thanks to Dr.Oetker cake making and decorating has never been easier!
The summer holidays can be hard work at times especially if the weather is wet. I like to let the boys do a spot of baking on a wet afternoon, so we can enjoy their creations for tea, or picnics or for entertaining when friends pop over for a play date.
These Mini Egg Krispy Cakes are very easy to make and use melted Mars Bars in place of golden syrup.
My boys can be right old fuss pots at times. They quite like eating Coco Rocks, a cereal which I buy sometimes to use as a snack for the pair of them, as they prefer to eat them without milk. However, the other day I found some Coco Pop Chocos – made by Kelloggs and made from the same ingredients, but did they like them? No! *Big sigh*
It has to be said that the summer holidays have not really summed up the word they have been named after, i.e. ‘summer’, because we have had a lot of rain. Wet days are ok every now and then when you get the chance to enjoy some outdoor fun on the other days, but when the rain falls for a few days in a row, it can be hard to keep two lively boys entertained when they need to burn off some steam!
