Cupcake Smiles

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today was a day that my little sisters had been looking forward to since last weekend... cupcake baking day!

Orange Soda Cupcakes
Last weekend, Twin A asked if we could make "dairy-three" cupcakes, also known as dairy-free cupcakes, and that "Mommy said it's okay." Unfortunately, even though we had Mommy's blessing to go ahead with the project, I had a full day of babysitting last Saturday and had no time to bake cupcakes.

All week I had promised the girls that on Saturday, when there was no school, we could make the cupcakes. So here we were, Saturday, and the girls did not forget my promise. In fact, they reminded my mom about it first thing in the morning. First thing at 3:56 in the morning! Yeah, she wasn't happy about them being up that early... that's one of the ways you know that my sisters and I aren't biologically related. I would sleep until 3:56 in the afternoon if I was allowed, and they get up at 3:56 in the morning!

Since my sisters are so limited in what they can eat, it's always fun to find new recipes for them to try. Plus, since they're still in the stage where they eat anything they get on their hands, you can't really let them help you with any kind of food prep that has dairy involved. When I make cupcakes or cookies that are dairy-free, it's nice to get them involved with preparing batter or dough. And even though it can get messy, and I do mean messy, it's totally worth it to see the giant smiles and hear the shrieks of joy when they see the cupcakes come out of the oven.

Today we made Orange Soda Cupcakes, which they absolutely loved. We literally mixed orange soda in with the cupcake batter and it was a really cool recipe to work with. I was glad that the girls (and my other siblings) enjoyed the cupcakes, because that means that we have another recipe to use for the girls. I hope we can try other flavors like this in the future as well!
Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
