It's been a blah day. It's been a crappy week. With nowhere to go today, Brian and I had taken to lounging on the couch, watching World Cup and knitting. (Guess who was doing what??)
So when Will said he was hungry and suggested cupcakes, I was very open to suggestion. I too am hungry, and well, a cupcake sounds really good. I tend to eat when I'm sad so it wasn't strange to desire baking. Plus it gives us something to do instead of sitting and thinking. I rifled through our cake mixes and had two choices: spice cake or devils food. Easy choice, no? :) The delectable goodies are baking in the oven, prepared as indicated on the back of the box. However, to make them extra-special, I am going to make a chocolate-marshmallow frosting from scratch.
Will's VERY excited about the cupcakes, although he doesn't realize that they're not for dinner. I mean really, cupcakes for dinner? I'll bet in his three-year-old mind, that would be wickedly awesome. He's full of questions, starting with the ever-present "Are the cupcakes done yet?" Repeated every five minues. The really interesting one was asking what cupcakes do when they're not baking or being eaten. Hmmm. I don't think cupcakes really have an agenda. No calendar to fill, no appointments to run to, maybe a birthday party to attend, but pretty much all they do is sit. Bake, sit, get eaten. The life cycle of a cupcake.
