A couple of weeks ago, I made these homemade birthday sprinkles cupcakes to share with our party guests, during a simple celebration for Simon’s first birthday.

Since my family lives in Michigan, my mom and I do not get much time together. This means we miss out on sharing face-to-face moments in the kitchen. During their recent visit, I made sure we made a meal together. Although it was a quick moment, it was priceless for me because of the few chances we get like this.

Not only did we make a meal, but my mom had the opportunity to see Judah at work in the kitchen, too. We made these sprinkle-filled cupcakes to share with our party guests. Any time I make cupcakes, Judah declares he is in charge of the sprinkles. Recently, he’s even wanted to master the frosting.

I love that my mom was there to see how much her grandson enjoys helping me in the kitchen. It is fun to see the excitement on his face, and it was even better to share that joy with my mom.

The cupcakes did turn out a little dry, but that was all the fault of my own. I accidentally left them in the oven a little too long. Oops! So, watch your baking time. Keep an eye on them and remove them RIGHT when they’re ready!
