Maple Syrup Cupcakes

These Maple Syrup Cupcakes were originally made for a cupcake decorating class. We made a few different kinds, vanilla, chocolate and this Maple Syrup. The class was more about decorating, but the groups of students really love these.

Pure Maple Syrup is three times as sweet as regular table sugar, so you don’t usually need as much; plus, it has a lower glycemic index than common white sugar, so your blood sugar levels won’t spike as quickly. Then we ruin it all in these cupcakes by adding white sugar as well. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, come on, it’s a sometimes food. I say cupcakes are for parties. 🎉🥳🧁

Because our cooking school is conveniently located next to a kindergarten, I had the privilege of teaching small groups of children how to have fun making and decorating cupcakes for special occasions such as Christmas and Easter. The children, accompanied by a teacher, would come in groups of 6-8.

We had a complete routine in place, which began with washing our hands and understanding the significance of it. One of the enjoyable segments was cracking eggs, and I would ask the teacher in private who would be the most suitable candidate for the task. 😂😂😂 Once we finished mixing and baking, we would decorate the eggs with various designs (some of which I had prepared ahead of time of course).
