Photo-A-Day #4311

We received two packages of Valentine’s Day cards from Peaceable Kingdom to use and review.

The two sets of cards that we received were the Cherry Cupcakes Scratch and Sniff Valentine’s Cards and also the Cookies & Cream Scratch and Sniff Valentine’s Cards. These are the perfect cards for the kids to give out to their friends in school. Each card is a nice cut out shape and there is an envelope for each card as well. The kids enjoyed testing them all out and signing their names to each of the cards. They tell more about what they enjoy in the video below.

Review – Making Cupcakes with the Ultimate Baking Starter Set

Real Cooking
Photo-A-Day #4255

We received the Real Cooking Ultimate Baking Starter Set to use and review from Skyrocket Toys. Opinions are 100% our own.

Today Eva was home from school. It was the perfect day for us to try out the Real Cooking Ultimate Baking Starter Set. This is a set where kids can bake a couple of different types of cupcakes. There are mixes for tuxedo cupcakes and sparkle surprise cupcakes. They are mini cupcakes and can be baked in cupcake liners using the heat-resistant, fast cooling
silicone tray.

First we made the tuxedo cupcakes. Eva was excited to use the mess-free egg cracker. This is a fun little device where kids just have to push down on a button and the egg cracks into a small container where you can whisk the eggs before you pour them into the mixing bowls. The interchangeable mixing bowls can be securely affixed to the counter via a suction cup. The set also comes with a spatula, whisk, measuring cups and pastry tips. She made the cupcakes and then decorated them. She got help from Andrew who did the mixing of some of the frosting for the tuxedo cupcakes.

The cupcakes were pretty tasty. The thing is, you are using real food to make the cupcakes. You use your own real milk, eggs, and butter with the the cake and frosting mixes.
