This past Sunday, I baked 100 mini cupcakes and sold them at my mom's church fundraiser, and boy was it fun! Children are just too cute. When they lay their eyes upon a yummy cupcake, seeing their faces brighten as they point to the cupcake they want, makes me happy. All 100 cupcakes were sold and for an awesome cause.
I think it's amazing that these kids are going to be participating in a mission trip to Kenora with their parents. One of the little boys was telling me how he and his friends wanted to make mini loot bags to hand out to the kids in Kenora. He was so excited to fill it up with toys and other fun stuff, for kids he hadn't met yet. 
Teaching them how to show love, in the simplest of ways like filling up a loot bag, is something truly admire. In the end, the kids raised $1700 that will be divided evenly among the 5 kids going. I can't wait until they come back so I can hear of all their stories!
This weekend I am baking more cupcakes for a friend's birthday. He's a fan of the new mango-banana smoothie at Starbucks so that's my inspiration. I've never made mango-banana cupcakes before, but hey, it sounds like it could be heavenly!
