Pinkalicious Cupcakes

Recently I decided that, since I was going to be up with the baby anyway, I might as well do something other than just watching “The Rachel Maddow Show” podcast or listening to the “Bossypants” audiobook for the nth time. I chose to make cupcakes in honor of Audrey’s newfound obsession with the book “Pinkalicious”. If you don’t know the book, it’s about a girl who loves pink so much that, when given the opportunity to eat pink cupcakes, actually becomes pink. I went out Thursday and used a gift card to buy a copy of the book for Audrey’s classroom. Then, Thursday night, I set about making cupcakes. Baking while trying really hard to be quiet is an interesting experience, one I probably won’t be doing again for a while. The cupcakes turned out well. I won’t be competing in any cake decorating contests in the near future, but they were good enough for 2-3 year olds!

Failure

Crafty night was not all I had hoped it would be. I came home from work, sat down for a minute with a glass of milk to ponder my options, and then woke up about 3 hours later when Audrey & Ransom got home. On the plus side, I did dream about this.
