Eryn wanted to do mom school today, and since I didn't have anything prepared I asked her to choose a book, then I would come up with the activity. She chose Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink by Victoria Kann. In this story Pinkalicious whips up some pink lemonade to sell to make money to buy bubble gum.
I twisted the activity into making pink lemonade cupcakes, a combination of the original Pinkalicious book and this story. I used the Pink Lemonade Cupcakes recipe from ericasweettooth.com. These did have a sour bite to them, which I like in the cake. But the frosting was, as Eryn put it, "confusing" as it was both really sweet but also sour. I guess my palate isn't so complex. The girls liked the cupcakes, but I think if I make them again I will use canned frosting instead.
