Cupcake fanaticLittle Mr. Quinn Jr. loves to make cupcakes, if it was up to him we would make them every day. He especially loves to put the sprinkles on.

I think he likes the process of making them more than eating them. He mixes the batter, pours the water and oil and loves to help scoop them into their little paper homes. He is such a cooking angel. He says he wants to be a baker when he grows up.

Giving kids responsibility in the kitchen keeps them occupied and also teaches them about food. My sister is never scared to let him get his hands dirty and help with all the cooking tasks. He sometimes uses a knife too which scares me but he has been taught how to use it properly and knows it is something he needs to be very careful with.

Kids these days are amazing, just give them a chance and they will shine!
