As the family made a batch of cupcakes to hand out at a street party in Cardiff, pictures showed the children helping their mother make ice cream using a piping bag.
Prince Louis seemed lost in focus as he was photographed sifting flour for the muffins, while Charlotte and George supervised their little brother as he used the blender.
When the cupcakes were finished, the children looked as proud as they did with their creation, and Charlotte flashed a winning smile to her mother.
