Baking ~ Chocolate Chips Cupcakes

Mom gave me an electric mixer some time ago (being a fan of high-tech kitchen gadgets, she don't need this mini tool for a mini baker like me). But due to the busy schedule of moving house and the renovation, I have not had the time to test it out although I felt the itch to start using to sharpen my baking skills. My previous attempts with cakes/muffins requires no gadgets. Just a spatula. Plus, I finally manage to get a cupcake mold that fits my mini oven.

Today, I finally had the chance and time to put the mixer to the test. Boy, it was fun!!! Isabelle was very interested in it too :)
