Life Is So Much Better With Perfect Gluten Chocolate Cupcakes!
My young sous-chef Sam was so excited to host this episode, and at only 5 years old I honestly believe she did an amazing job. Her older sister even complimented her on doing so well … does it get any better than this? In fact it does, since the end result of Sam’s hard work was a delicious batch of moist and yummy chocolate cupcakes that both the girls could decorate and enjoy together. Another beautiful day on the IC kitchen!
