Babycakes Cupcake Maker & Cookbook Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. The winner, chosen by Random.org was Nancy from Loves To Create. Congratulations, Nancy and thank you to everyone for entering!

Cooking with kids is fun, right? I mean, aside from the giant sacks of flour dumping on the floor, the turning around and always tripping over someone, constant verbal instructions – repeated numerously – of what to do next, it’s a blast. Really.

Truthfully… it isn’t always fun to cook with kids, but it is such an important skill for them to learn. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the most patient of moms when my kids are in the kitchen with me. Sometimes I just want to be left alone, but then I’ll remember how this one skill will take them through life and I try to chill out.

I’ve recently been given a Babycakes Cupcake Maker and can share with you that this little machine actually does make cooking with kids fun! It’s not something young kids can handle completely on their own, but my older two can certainly whip out a thing of cupcakes using this with no problems.

The Babycakes Cupcake Maker is kind of deceiving because you can do so much more in it than simple cupcakes. Cheesecakes, bite size cream pies, savory wonton or tortilla cups, poached eggs… the possibilities for both sweet and savory treats are endless! From simple to elegant, kid friendly to dinner party worthy, the Babycakes Cupcake Maker is an appliance worth making space for.

Sugar Cookie Cups and Curried Chicken Salad Cups from the 175 Best Babycakes Cupcake Maker Recipes cookbook

    I’m thankful for the precious kids in my life that make everything little thing more interesting (just like the adorable one in the first picture above).
    I’m thankful for sugar, sweets, baking, CUPCAKES, and the smiles that come with all these things.
    Happy baking!

  4. Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says

    I am thankful for the gift of being able to afford and prepare my food, because I’m reminded every day working in a big city how many people can’t do that. I’m also thankful for random acts of kindness and generosity, which have the ability to turn around many a down day.

  12. Robyn S. says

    Love this! I am thankful for chances to win cool items like this, and I am thankful for my baby daughter, who won’t be a baby forever and who will one day (hopefully) spend time making cupcakes with me.

  15. Jen W. says

    I’m thankful for my family and my friends who are all awesome and make my life fun and exciting!

    Cooking with my fiancé sounds a whole lot like cooking with kids, but I sure am thankful for him. And delivery when he mistakes two cups of baking powder for two teaspoons…

  26. Sarah Miller says

    I am thankful for having such an amazing first 4.5 months of marriage. It’s such a wonderful learning process being married, and I love it!

    I am also thankful for finding new friends after relocating when I got married. I knew about 50 people who lived in my apartment complex alone at my last location, so this was a big change!

  28. Wendy W. says

    That is a nifty lil appliance!! So cool you don’t have to fire up the oven just for a batch of cupcakes. Two things I am most grateful for: Very Super Bad Child Number One and Very Super Bad Child Number Two 🙂

  52. Heather Miller says

    2 things that I am thankful for this year are my family and my friends. That sounds cliche but after starting out the year with a difficult loss, ending it with my children and husband couldn’t mean more. And living away from our hometown and family makes me so grateful for good friends.

  95. Pam Kennedy says

    I am thankful for my beautiful granddaughter, Kinsley, who just went to see Cake Boss this week. Kinsley has shown and instructed me on how to decorate a cupcake with or without my eyes covered! 🙂

    I am also thankful for Kinsley’s mom, Kimberly, who is our youngest daughter. Kimberly takes the time to let Kinsley really learn how to bake those special cupcakes and breads they make together. She will pass a passion to bake that has been passed down from my mom to me and from me to Kimberly and now Kimberly to Kinsley. That’s a lot of love!

  117. Laura says

    Cute! I, too, think cooking is a bit of a (cough, cough) chore with the kiddos, but super important skill to learn. And I know it’s fun for them! However stressful and extra work it may be for me (sigh). Enough moaning!

    My two things I’m thankful for: my healthy kids & sisters that are friends.

  133. Amy Tong says

    There are way more than just 2 things I’m grateful for….but the 2 that are on top of the list are 1) my family 2) my health, so I can take care of my family. 🙂 Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway.

    I just saw these the other day at one of the local warehouse stores and was debating about this ….. maybe I will go back and get it now.

    What I am most thankful for is the fact that no matter how difficult things can be this past year (snow, ice, heat, earthquake, hurricane, loss of power, freaky snow storms, etc) we have our health, my parents are still with us, my brother is still cognizant of us being around (very difficult situation) , my kids are doing what they want to do in life or working towards it, and we still have our jobs. Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for this year.
