Cupcakes with legs?

Can cupcakes have legs?

The kids and I baked our cupcakes with legs...


Ann was in charge of mixing and scooping the mixture into the cups...


...then Kai (just look at how much he has grown) put them into the oven to bake...


...there you have it, cup cakes with legs. The kids were excited and were giggling non-stop when the cupcakes were brought out. Yummy dark chocolate cupcakes. De-li-cious!!!

The good thing about baking your own cakes is that you can control the amount of ingredients you put into it. Most cakes that are sold outside have a very high level of sugar content. When doing your own baking, expecially for kids, cut down on the sugar and add healthier ingredients such as dark chocolates instead of milk chocolates and of course, take away the icing. Medical studies have shown that dark chocolates actually help to lower high blood pressure and they are great antioxidants. However, that doesn't mean you have dark chocolates for three meals. In everything, eat in moderation!

Yes, they are so cute.
Bought them in Singapore but also saw them here and they are much cheaper. Going to buy some more :)
