Bruce's young granddaughters, Elise (6) and Emma (3) came for a summer visit and we asked them to be judges in a very special Betty Crocker cookoff. Since they are both chocolaholics, it seemed fitting that we'd make double chocolate cupcakes.
We tried to keep it secret who was cooking which recipe, but clever Elise spotted Poppy adding white chocolate chips to his recipe. She quickly came over to Connie to report that she'd probably win since Elise does NOT like white chocolate!!!
Once all the cupcakes were made, we let the girls add sprinkles to all of them...I mean, what's a girlie cupcake if it doesn't have pink sprinkles?
Once they were seated and ready we discreetly placed 3 cupcakes out for tasting.
Before Elise could begin, Emma quickly scooped in and grabbed a Betty Crocker cupcake. One big bite of the icing and she declared this cupcake the winner!!! Woohoo for Betty!
As Connie was trying not to jump around the kitchen in a victory dance, Elise glanced at the cupcake Emma was devouring and realized that it did not have white chocolate in it. She glanced worriedly at Poppy and Connie knew that Betty was toast. Without skipping a beat, she daintily tasted both cupcakes (carefully avoiding the white chocolate chips) and pronounced the cupcake with the white chocolate chips her winner!
Yes, this child may be a future Secretary of State!!! We profusely thanked this week's judges and declared their decisions to be fair for all. So, this week's cookoff is a very sweet tie with even sweeter judges!
The Scorecard Remains:
Betty: 3
The Challenger: 2
Any leftovers? :-)
