Strawberry Jam Cupcakes

As usual, when I was preparing the ingredients my younger son will ask me what am I baking for the day. After I told him that I will be baking Strawberry Cupcakes, he gave me a smile and said 'Storebelly'(baby language). He quickly went to bring out his cooking set and set up his own baking corner.:D
While I was taking some shoots, he quickly brought a strawberry toy and place it beside the cupcakes and said that it will be nicer. He was so sweet, so I include his small thought in my shot and it really gave the photo a touch of fun.:)
