Kindergarten Summer Review (Sight words, letters, numbers, reading, days of the week, months of the year)
So I realized that there were a few areas that my dear kindergartener needed help in, and with the end of the school year quickly approaching, I decided I needed to create something that we could do in during the summer so that she did not forget the things she knew, and so that she could solidify the things she did not know. So one late night I made these boards, and most of the worksheets to go with them.

How to Make Box Cake Mix better (Along with a few other tips to make your cupcake making experience smoother)
How to make box cake better.
So I searched the internet high and low to figure out a way to improve the taste of box cake.
I finally found the best way to improve box cake is to
1. Replace the oil with real butter.
2. Replace the water with milk.
Some say to add an extra egg but I found adding the extra egg made the cupcakes deflate
once they were taken out of the oven. (As seen in the third picture)
A few extra tips.
1. Make sure to mix your batter very well.
2. Put your batter into a gallon zip lock back and cut a hole in the corner to fill your cupcake liners, it's beyond easy and creates no mess and allows you to fill them quickly. (You can also use this same tip to add frosting to the cupcakes once they have cooled completely)
3. Fill your liners 3/4 full just like the directions on the box state.
4. You may need to reduce your cooking time by 1 to 3 minutes, so make sure you're checking your cupcakes frequently towards the end of the cooking time.
5. When cupcakes are done cooking remove from pans immediately to a cooling rack or else the cupcakes will shrink. (As seen in the fourth picture)
The taste difference is incredible considering its box cake mix.
