Chef Elijah

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's that time again. Time for cooking lessons with Elijah. On today's menu we have cupcakes with chocolate icing and sprinkles.

First you'll want to gather all your ingredients.

Don't forget to put on your apron to protect your clothing, and your chef's hat so everyone knows you mean business!

Start by pouring in the cake mix and adding oil and water. Perfect concentration while pouring is key!

Crack three eggs into a measuring cup and then add them as well. Make sure you fish out the shells before you do!

Mix well. And by well I mean stir a few times then hand it over to your mommy and the electric mixer to finish.

Make sure you add your muffin papers so that your cupcakes don't stick!

Oh and the number one rule that all chefs know, taste your food before, during and after cooking!

Next, evenly divide your cake batter among your baking tins. Be careful because it's easy to completely miss and dump it on the table instead!

After baking, let the cupcakes cool.

After your assistant chef (Mommy) ices the cupcakes, sprinkle them liberally with sprinkles.

All that's left is to eat up!

This is a video of Elijah attempting to crack an egg. He's done it before, but this time it was not so successful.
