Someone is going to have to volunteer to take pictures with my camera!  I get so involved with the class that I forget to take pics.  We had such cute recipes yesterday.  Shamrock Toasties (english muffin half, cheese, slice of green pepper that looks like a shamrock, broiled). And Shamrock Punch--a lovely shade of green!

Rainbow Cupcakes

I started a new cooking class session today. I was so excited--I have all new children except one, who has been in my class for a few sessions. The other children were in my community center class, but have never done classes at my house. They are all great kids, a joy to teach, and they all have cool moms (and one Grandma) as well. The youngest is almost 2 1/2, and the oldest ones are four. We made Rainbow Cupcakes. They didn't exactly turn out like rainbows (they were supposed to have stripes like a rainbow). We didn't have the time to make sure all the layers were covered completely by the next color. But they were pretty. Forgot to take pictures of the ones the kids made. These were the ones I made with the leftover batter. We read "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake" while waiting for them to bake.
