Holiday Baking with my Son

Most of the time I prefer baking alone to avoid spills and mess. But baking is one way to bond with my son since he loves mixing. It also one way to teach him in reading, following instructions and measurements. 

Thank God for instant mixes because it makes my baking life easier. Last Thursday, our advent calendar activity is “Bake something for someone special”. The timing is right because we can bring the brownies in his school Christmas party. 

We love this triple chocolate brownie mix of Ghirardelli, I’ve been buying this for years already. My son read the instructions and mix all the ingredients which is egg, oil, water and instant mix while I preheat the oven and transfer the batter in the baking pan. I bake another batch of brownies the following day. 

The Christmas Party theme is Olaf/Frozen so I printed cupcake topper for decorations.

P.S. The brownies are really yummy. First time na makatikim nito, gusto ng umorder ng brownies. But I always say, instant mix lang yan. :)

      Last year, my son wanted to become a chef, maybe because we always bake. :)

    This is a nice bonding activity and tummy-filling at the same time. Luckily, my unica hija is now a tweener so baking is not as messy as before. :) - edel
