One of Alex's classmates enjoyed the cupcakes that were brought to school for Alex's birthday so much, he wanted to come over to learn how to make them. One recent afternoon, a couple friends came over to learn to make cupcakes. We also decorated with frosting and sprinkles.

On another day, I borrowed a neat contraption from an Australian colleague that peels and cores apples while cutting them into a spiral "slinky." We made those apples into apple crumble. Yum!
