The Cupcake is a Man

The Keigley kids love cupcakes.


I think it is because Kevin often tells them this silly made-up story about a time when he used to be an ankle-biting cupcake himself. That's right. I typed that correctly. Kevin was a cupcake. Who bit ankles.



London named his stories "The Cupcake Is A Man" and Kevin is currently working on illustrating a copy of his tales.



So we decided to make some cupcakes.






We made them from "scratch". (What does that even mean?) We used real cocoa and flour and all that great stuff. It's actually an infamous Polly Boone's Mom recipe that I have loved ever since Polly Boone shared said cupcakes in class oh-so-many years ago.






We made the icing from the same "scratch".



And then I let the kids color and frost the cupcakes all by themselves. Hmmm. See the results. Heavy on the icing, but tasty nonetheless.
