Anna's Cupcake Science Project

Recently my 14-year-old daughter came to me about a science project she was going to do for her 8th grade science class.  She had chosen to look at basic substitutions you could use while baking, as she is an avid baker. In fact I buy her a baking oriented cookbook every year for Christmas.  (Clearly I’m winning at parenting as I’m definitely reaping those rewards!).

She worked diligently on this project one fall afternoon at the cabin.  There was a lot of measuring, weighing, and even testing of resistance (it’s good to have a dad who is an electrical engineer and loves to teach scientific principle!). I had promised she could post her results on the blog when she had them written up, and now I am going to deliver. My only other contribution was to buy four different colored cupcake liners so we wouldn’t confuse the four groups.  Read on for my daughter’s science project in her own words.  Baking Substitutions: A Fun Science Project is below.  Proud mom moment…hope you enjoy it as much as I did! …
