Hello Everyone, it's Erica here!
Up very early! |
I woke up at 6am and raced downstairs to the living room, that’s where
we set up the Christmas tree. I saw a whole bunch of presents under the
tree and Brock was already awake. Mom
and Dad told me that Brock showed up in their room at 3:15am – let’s get
serious, I’m not getting up that early EVER!
Mom and Dad came down next and we all opened our presents after they
made coffee and chocolate croissants. Here are a few things that Santa left for
me: an Easy-Bake oven (I’m very excited
about that!), a drawing kit, some ChapStick in my stocking, candy, and more! But the best part was that our entire family
was together for the afternoon and dinner.
It was so nice to have our entire family together! |
I really want to tell you about my new Easy-Bake oven. I’ve wanted one for a long time. Dad told me I had to read all the instructions
twice before I could start to bake with it. Then he read them too! With all the paperwork complete, Dad and I
could finally start baking. I decided
to make red velvet cupcakes first. First
we got some spoons from the kitchen drawer, a bowl to mix with, and lots of sprinkles
<- sprinkles are very important! With
everything organized, we started mixing up our first batch of cupcakes. Next, I sprayed my tray with a little
non-stick stuff from Mom’s cupboard and began to pour the mix into the cupcake
holes. Dad told me that I had to keep my
work area clean – it’s a good thing he hasn’t seen my room lately – haha. Once that was done, I put the tray of batter into the
Easy Bake oven for ten minutes to cook.
While we were waiting we cleaned up our area (again!) and prepared the
icing and sprinkles (I love sprinkles!!).
There is a cooling chamber that you need to slide cupcake tray into when
they are finish baking. We left them
there for six minutes after which I started to apply the pink frosting and
sprinkles. Then, we stared at them for a
while before Dad said “Now what?” Of
course I said what any good baker would say… DIG IN!
