FACEBOOK STATUS UPDATE:
Heather Kenoyer Anderson has just finished baking cupcakes (one at a time) in the microwave and icing them (also one at a time!) using Kate's new "Gourmet Girl" set... and now knows why Santa never brought me an Easy Bake Oven when I was little... b/c MY mom was SMART!!! :)

Here's Kate with her proud smile. We made a total of 5 cupcakes (which took over an hour) and she got to do a lot of licking since we had to refill the icing machine for each cupcake. When we were done we put them in her cupcake carrier to take to her brothers at basketball tonight. :)

I hope she always has fond memories of this experience...

... cuz we're never doing it again.

;) (just kidding)

Thank you, Aunt Tracey for the memory-making toy. (what was I thinking sending you that link?)

It WAS really cute to watch her. When we made the first cupcake, we were both surprised that it baked in the microwave and she yelled when she saw it "that is AMAZING!!" :) Then, right after this pic was taken she said "oh, that was so fun! that was awesome! the boys are gonna LOVE this!!" :)

That's my little "gourmet girl." <3
