I baked cupcakes with the help of my five-year-old son. After we baked and decorated (he did some of his own), he held up the backdrop for the photo session. We had such a good time that the mess that took me two hours to clean up, was totally worth it!
This was originally a recipe post, but I’ve replaced that recipe and filed this post under my personal section because the pics are just precious and so are the memories!
